Little Scientists Need a Few Items

Help me give my students safety googles, lab coats, eye droppers and a little glue to do science!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Deshpande's classroom raised $195

My Project

My kids are going to love science once we get started. I have the plans and most of the materials. We are mainly missing a few items.

We need safety goggles, lab coats and eye droppers.

My 4 and 5 year old students like to rub their eyes and it's important that we have safety goggles to protect them. I am in the process of asking other teachers if I can borrow their safety goggles but I am finding out that most other teachers don't have them yet either.

The second item that I would like to provide for my students in a lab coat. This will get them in the mood to do science in addition to protecting their clothes.

We also need eye droppers to do many of the projects. I have been asking around for these too, but so far, I have not been successful in finding them.

Will you please help me purchase these last few items so that we can have all of the supplies and can do art every week? Thank you!
