My Project

Our students are trying to fill in gaps from online and hybrid learning due to Covid. These books will allow students to explore science topics in their own time and at home. Students can come into the library and research a science topic that they found difficult, interesting, or new!

This project will help our science teachers too!

They can refer students to the library to learn more about certain science topics or even use these book when doing their daily instruction.

These science books will help inspire students who struggle in science or are too bashful to ask questions during class to come into the library to explore the topic on their own. Additionally, for our avid science lovers these books will allow them to explore their love and passion for science.
