Science and Lighting

Help me give my students an opportunity to learn about the universe. We would create the solar system and use the lights to actually light our universe around the classroom. .

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 enjoy reading, researching and journal collecting all information from the books gifted by different science programs, and from my picks, so our bookshelves will help us to stay organized and keep our tools right at our hands.

These students will also learn about plants and the environment via sight and touch (Pampas and lighted leaves) and how important it is for us to start now to clean up and keep our environment clean, for the future.

An interest in Science is the best way to brighten our children's future
