Interactive Ecology Museum

Help me give my students an interactive science museum that they will present to the school!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Patton's classroom raised $683

This project is fully funded

My Project

In 4th grade we create an interactive ecology museum about animals and their habitats. Students research, design, and craft their own poster board with information on their chosen animal. After creating, we decorate the classroom to look like their inside of their own biome.

They will get to be their own animal expert and have students see all of their progress.

With your help students will have the necessary materials to complete their project. Science is an important part of learning and by having a hands-on project to showcase their knowledge, students will be proud of their work.
