Interactive, Hands on Science Classroom

Help me give my students an interactive , and memorable experience with science this year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lewis's classroom raised $474

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help me create a literature rich, hands on, interactive, science classroom with models, live insect specimens, and children's encyclopedias! Students need to experience the world around them in authentic ways that will propel their curiosity and excitement for learning.

Butterfly, and ant enclosures help our discover the magic of life cycles.

Encyclopedias give our students an authentic route to connect, research interests, and answer questions. Static electricity models, newton's cradle, and prisms provide our students with concrete, real life experience to relate to the curriculum. Thank you for supporting these students in fostering their love for science!
