My Project

I am wanting to get students more involved in science activities. I have several hands- on science experiment kits that students can do with my support. I will have stations set up so students can select an experiment with a partner. I know that students learn more by trial and error.

This will give the opportunity to experience science in a fun way.

I also have some gardening kits that students can create a garden. My school has a garden courtyard and these would look great out there.

Please support my project so I can give Science activities to my students.
