Science Exploration Lab

Help me give my students a Science Lab that brings hands-on, inquiry-based learning directly to students. This lab will be a space where students can explore scientific concepts through experiments, investigations, and projects, making science accessible and exciting.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Davis's classroom raised $2,925

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This Science Exploration Lab will make a significant difference by transforming my classroom into an interactive, hands-on learning environment where science comes alive for my students. Some of the items on my list are models that the students can engage with and explore. Other materials are to help create a space where organization is key and students are not distracted or overwhelmed. For me, as an educator, it will allow me to engage students more deeply in scientific inquiry and foster a love for discovery. In my classroom, this lab will provide students with the tools and resources they need to explore scientific concepts in a tangible way, making abstract ideas more concrete and accessible. In a 7th grade classroom, some scientific concepts are: biology, ecosystems, landforms, electromagnetism, and Newton's Laws. For my students, particularly those from underserved backgrounds, it will open up opportunities to experience science in ways they may not have outside of school, sparking their curiosity and critical thinking skills. As a whole, this lab will elevate our school’s approach to science education, serving as a model for how hands-on learning can enhance student engagement and academic success across all subjects.
