My Project

These resources will be used to carry out the science activities in our curriculum. The scale will be used when observing matter. The black play doh and stars will be used to create a model of the moon. The straws will help us construct rocket ships. The colored play doh, rolling pins, and knives will let us design parts of the animals that can protect them.

The goal of this project is to allow the students to have hands on experiences when it comes to learning about light and sound, space, and living things.

The students in our school are special because they are excited about learning and these materials will keep them attentive and interested!
