My Project

Our students love hands-on scientific opportunities! They love being able to learn by doing. But, we need the right materials!

We’re asking for magnifying glasses that we can use in our experiments.

We have a few different experiments that we would like to try, but first, we need the right supplies! We are also asking for teacher materials to help prepare the students for the experiments by making sure they get at least some science work each day! We need to build their background knowledge of the world before they can start experimenting!
