Science Is Everywhere: Bringing Real-World Science to the Classroom

Help me give my students new science materials for the new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. OK's classroom raised $595

My Project

The materials that I am asking for are going to allow my students have the best and most successful year they can have! This past year, my students and I had the opportunity to raise our own chicks from eggs. One thing we noticed was our incubator was not the best and may have stopped us from getting more eggs to hatch. We are asking for a new egg incubator to hatch even more eggs this year!

We are also asking for new science materials to enhance our learning and allow it to be more hands-on.

One of our units is "living things" where we talk about plants, animals, and different habitats. These materials will give the students the chance to create their own terrariums and learn more about living things. I am also looking for ways to be more organized for next year so these materials will help! Lastly, looking for ways to motivate my students so I will use the treasure box to fill with goodies.

I hope you consider donating to my class. We look forward to enhancing our classroom for the 2025/26 school year!
