My Project

As the Benjamin Franklin quote goes: “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” With your help I can involve my scholars in the exploration of animal and plant lifecycles. Each year we read stories, show pictures and make crafts for lifecycles but what a great experience it would be to watch and observe in 3D. Bringing the lifecycles to life for scholars would not only be engaging but will give them an opportunity to observe and really understand each stage.

Science should be a fun and engaging hands on experience!

My goal is to bring our unit on lifecycle to life for my scholars. Scholars will be transferred from scholars to super scientist and life cycle experts.
