Help me give my students hand magnifiers, a plant growing kit, a physical activity lab set, and many more tangible items for them to use while they discover new concepts in science. They eagerly await to experiment!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students come from a diverse set of backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. However, despite their differences, they come together to help one another. Hardworking, determined, committed are the words I would use to describe not only my students, but the families who've raised them. Many of them work tirelessly to give their children a taste of the American Dream. Along with their parents, the children know that they need to follow in their footsteps to achieve their personal successes. The students appreciate the after school activities they've been blessed to partake in, activities other children do not always have the opportunities to engage in. With this, they can use their talents to give back to their community and help others along their way.
My hope is to continue embodying this sentiment for my students.
I want to work hard to foster the learning environment they rightfully deserve under my teaching. So, I hope that I can gain assistance in doing this for my students and future generations I will mold.
My Project
I have been teaching third grade for the past 2 years and have always had a difficult time designing experiments for the class to explore. Our science curriculum is packed with ideas for these experiments, but lack of tools makes it nearly impossible to plan experiments that all the students in class can experience. Instead, I'm usually the one modeling the experiment for the class and hearing the several cries of "can we try it?" My class desperately needs your help to secure a plant growing kit to observe the concepts we learn from the text about the plant life cycle. They also need a rock and soil kit to observe the concepts we learn about the Earth's surface. Students need tools like magnifying glasses to observe materials necessary for various experiments, and they need a physical science kit to explore concepts like electricity first hand. Lastly, they need a microscope to again observe various materials up close. Think about science when you were in school, the best days were when you got to be a scientist!
