Making Scientists in a rural school
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shelton's classroom raised $1,068
This project is fully funded
My Project
I teach the best scientists-in-training that you will ever meet. My fifth graders and I need some help gathering materials to enhance their learning. These scientific tools will help my students learn how to conduct scientific investigations to better understand the world around them. The materials will allow for hands on learning opportunities and real life data collection. Many of these tools will allow us to taking learning out into the field (outside regular classroom walto collect and analyze data. Please help them learn how to think like a scientist!
This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In at 877 Old Airport Road.
