My Project

The 5th grade students at EES are in need of some science supplies. To best support my students I would like to make sure they have access to hands-on learning opportunities. These markers, spray bottles and other supplies will be used for our genetics and the environment standards class also our matter and properties standard. Having access to these earbuds and other items will improve students' learning and give them an opportunity to have a deeper understanding of what they are learning.

Covid-19 has impacted my students greatly and these materials are going to help my students learn more and have a more hands on experience with science.

Since staying inside and being isolated, my students were not exposed to the world as much as students before Covid-19.

My 5th graders are eager and ready to learn. The most effective way for them to learn is by providing them with hand-on learning tools to help them succeed.
