My Project

I absolutely love my scientists. They all enter my science lab coming from different ethnic and economic backgrounds eager to learn, work together, and enjoy science. My students truly bring joy to my life and inspire all those around them. I would love to offer my fifth graders a chance to build and launch team rockets. I envision my students working in teams as rocket scientists. They will then invite our entire school and community to a rocket launch. I know everyone will enjoy screaming 5-4-3-2-1-blast off and truly love the awe and excitement science naturally brings.
