My Project

It is difficult to implement labs when resources are lacking. Labs are crucial in science. They are hands-on, allow students to collaborate, increase engagement, and incorporate important skills such as problem-solving. Labs allow students to understand the content and inspire them to look into STEM careers.

This year, I want to incorporate as many labs as possible to give my students the experience to foster an appreciation for science.

Overall, this project will help me provide students with engaging lab experiences and cut down on waste using these supplies such as the hydroponic system.
