My Project

I am looking to build my matter unit and provide more hands on learning for my students. Some of the supplies we use for this unit are running low. In order to avoid wait time, to update very old equipment and replenish supplies, I need your help!

We only have three scales amongst the entire school, we have outdated and very stiff old measuring spoons, our supplies of masking tape, string and markers are running low.

I am also hoping to bring more literature into my science class by highlighting various picture or informational books with each unit.

Thank you!
