My Project

In 7th grade, I teach Life Science. These supplies will go a long ways to showing students the cycle of life. It is one thing to talk about food webs, or the carbon cycle, but with these supplies we will be able to demonstrate the process of decomposition and then use that soil, that we created(!) to grow plants that students will be able to take home and plant themselves!

These last couple years have been difficult to give students hands on work because of covid, but when given the opportunity to work with their hands the students have come to life.

It makes all of the difference in world when you can go from telling to showing and that is what these supplies will allow us to do!
