Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

We recently received a few items such as shrimp and snails and other water eggs, to allow our students the opportunity to watch something grow from an egg and go through all of the stages of the life cycle. Now we are looking for some heat, lamps and heaters to put in our tanks to make this project successful! With your support our students will have the opportunity to see if their predictions are correct and make daily journal entries about their findings. The students will not only learn about science, but also about writing reports and science journaling.
