Little Scientists, Big Discoveries: Exploring Weather & Our World!

Help me give my students a love for science and our planet Earth by fostering STEM in our classroom.

My Project

Our preschoolers are curious, energetic, and full of wonder! They love asking questions about the world around them—especially when it comes to the sky, the weather, and nature. Many of our students are experiencing school for the first time, and we strive to make learning hands-on, joyful, and meaningful.

We want to bring the wonders of weather and the environment into our classroom through engaging books, hands-on experiments, and STEM-based learning tools.

With your support, we will:

Build a classroom library of age-appropriate books about weather, climate, and caring for the Earth.

Add weather experiment kits and STEM manipulatives to help students explore concepts like rain, wind, temperature, and seasons.

Provide a durable activity table where students can safely conduct their experiments and investigations.

These resources will help our young learners develop early science skills, critical thinking, and a love for the natural world. Through play and exploration, they’ll learn how weather works, why our planet matters, and how they can help take care of it. Thank you for choosing to support our little scientist in their quest of discovering the world around them.
