My Project

I love my pre k class of eager future scientists. They are full of excitement and love to test out materials in our discovery center. They just need more choices and I need a replacement. As time goes on, materials break or get lost. I need this replacement Can Do Discovery Science kit for my discovery area.

The kit covers almost every stem science concept including motion, magnets, five senses and sink/float.

It comes with visual picture cards so students can also experiment independently. They work great in small groups with lots of science conversations.
