Science for ALL!

Help me give my students a model of how gravity works in our solar system using jersey spandex knit material. Additionally, we are adding materials in our safe place to help students calm down.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Hinds's classroom raised $989

My Project

Everyday my students come ready to learn, and I am so proud of them. These models will help them better understand gravity and atoms. Covid has really increased the learning gaps of my students which these materials will help alleviate. Additionally, students are in need of positive social experiences after being in quarantine and lockdown for so long. The games will help build community and give students a fun outlet to grow socially with their peers. Students will love building community in our homeroom with these games and fun activities.
