My Project

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many students spent hours in front of screens, with the materials requested, students can get outside and do science in the wild and the lab. Backpacks will help students carry around materials while outside. The paper cutter will help students create posters to display their findings from bacteria collection they will grow on the agar in the petri dishes. Additionally, students will use the glue sticks to help construct posters to present their findings. By combining outdoor experiences with in the lab experiments, students will learn many new things about our natural world and the many large and small things that live here!
