It's Not Just A Phase!

Help me give my students NGSS science lessons about lights and the moon!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gibbons's classroom raised $998

This project is fully funded

My Project

Ready, Set, Science!!! My curious little scientist can't wait for our scheduled science learning days. They love exploring, discussing, and making hypothesis about different science concepts. We follow the Next Generation Science Standards and are currently learning about patterns in the sky.

We love science.

My scholars are learning that science is everywhere and that there are different patterns to be observed. This project is requesting two science kits to help us learn about light and the cycles of the moon as well as seat sacks for each scholar to store their materials.

By helping us receive these materials, you are giving us the opportunity to have hands on experience. You are giving us access to concepts and ideas that we can explore. We will be able to make predictions, make connections, and carry out investigations.
