Help me give my students scales to be used in labs to explore volume, density, and so much more!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pauline's classroom raised $214

My Project

In our science classroom, we learn through inquiry. We question, hypothesize, and test our ideas. We analyze data and come to conclusions about our findings.

These scales will allow us to explore mass, volume and density.

They will give us the chance to accurately measure substances for experiments. We can compare different materials based off of their weight or mass. The scales will be used a plethora of times to engage students in labs and experiments. Students will be able to work together to develop an understand of science and participate in their learning.
