Science Cats

Help me give my students the supplies we need to "do" science. Hands on is the best way to learn science concepts and apply them in real world situations.

My Project

In order to do science activities my class needs so many supplies. This list of items helps me to teach students in all of the standards we learn about in 5th grade.

Hands on activities are the best way to learn the science concepts and standards that 5th graders need to know!

The scales help us understand mass and chemical reactions. The batteries help to teach about circuits. The other supplies just help to make my classroom run smoothly!

Thank you for your support! The Science Cats thank you too!
