My Project

All our students love to come to the science lab and learn about how the world works! What better way to help them add to their natural curiosity and excitement by providing a science lab library full of amazing information to deepen and enhance their learning in the science lab.

We plan to use these books to feature a diverse group of scientists who have made significant contributions to the study of science to show that anyone can be a scientist!

Your contribution will by used be all students at our school, because all students visit the science lab every week!
