My Project

These materials would be used to give my students more learning opportunities with Science and Social Studies. Lots of students enjoy learning about these subjects, but I feel that I don't have enough activities for them to do. My current classroom does not have a globe or any maps that the students can refer to when we study about other places around the world.

My class this year is very interested in Science experiments and I would love to be able to give them more opportunities with different materials that can be used for those experiments.
