My students need materials to do hands-on activities, science games and nature documentaries that can help me teach them about environmental conservation.
I work with 250 second grade to fifth grade students.
My students are always full of questions. They enjoy doing experiments in class, observing, manipulating materials, measuring, and making predictions. They love to learn how scientists gather and share information.
My Project
I need hands-on materials, such as Solar Electricity Demonstration Kits, the Super Solar Car Racer and the Demo Solar Heating Kit to teach my students about unique and non-polluting energy sources. I also want some board games such as "The Green Game" to help my students review concepts that they have learned and have fun at the same time. I also want the nature documentary "Earth" (produced for kids by Disney) to teach my students about the negative effects of global warming and habitat destruction of animals and the planet as a whole.
In order to preserve the Earth, we need to teach future generations about conservation.
I would like to help my students become leaders who understand the importance of conserving resources as a way of taking care of our planet.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
