My Project

Student scientists succeed when applying organizational skills to learning activities. With your generous donation, my seventh and eighth grade science classes will be able to keep their learning organized. Students need a home base where they can keep their learning activities and lab sheets in one place at school and at home.

We try to emulate the world of science by working in teams and incorporating reading and writing because that's what real scientists do.

Each class already has a basket to keep their paperwork in, but it gets mixed up with their classmates' work. Pencils are for writing notes and lab reports. Highlighters are for annotating research and article excerpts. The pencils will need to be sharpened often and sharpened pencils help keep our notes legible.
