My Project

Hello Wonderful Donors! Please consider donating to my "Kindergarten is a Force of Motion" project. This project will help me to put together a hands-on force and motion science unit by allowing me to purchase hot wheels cars, magnetic tiles, and marble runs. These fun and engaging materials will be used for my students to explore motion, force, speed, and direction in a way that makes sense to them so they can apply it in a real way.

Hands-on exploration is essential to teaching kids scientific concepts such as force and motion.

Please consider donating to my project. Thank you!
