Ms. Meg's Magnificent Magicians

Help me give my students measuring beakers, contact lens solution, and glue for various science projects and experiments throughout the year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Meg's classroom raised $217

This project is fully funded

My Project

Through these materials, my preschoolers will have a chance to explore science. The beakers, spoons, and mixing bowls will be used to measure and stir ingredients while the vinegar, baking soda, shaving cream, flour, glue, food coloring, shortening will be used to make playdough, slime, other products, as well as other experiments. In the process of making the products, my preschoolers will practice making guesses and enjoy their actual creations.

At an early age, the students will be exposed to the wonders of science and encourage their curiosity and brain development.

Through simple activities, they will make more observations in their surroundings and the materials around them, make hypotheses, and draw conclusions. All of which are necessary skills in logic and problem solving.

Ms. Meg Jefferson-Houston PreK-8 IB School Grades PreK-2
