My Project

Thank you for taking a look at this project, where I am requesting materials for science class and our first-ever dedicated STEM Class! I am requesting some basic materials for measurement that includes: a talking digital scale, metric and customary mass and weight sets, digital anemometer, talking thermometer, measuring cup tools and washer sets for weights (e.g. for testing bridges or amusement park rides, etc.).

I am also requesting materials to experiment with MagLev transportation (magnets, modeling clay, wall anchors, Scotchgard, etc.), taste testing (taste tester strips, running tethers), and other activities for both science and STEM classes including in the book and activity cards.
