My Project

These science and math materials will help students fall in love with the subject! Having items like activity tubs, STEM kits, and math manipulatives will enhance each unit and give these special students a new and appealing perspective toward science and math! The different STEM activities will benefit each unit as it will incorporate problem solving activities to engage a younger generation. These materials such as children's microscopes, and the prepared slides will promote problem solving strategies. The children microscopes and organism activity kits will spark their interest in the field!
