My Project

Our class is looking to expand our science center. To achieve this, we need a variety of hands on science materials that allow the students to explore and learn about the scientific method. The materials for this project will provide opportunities to learn about insects, animals, magnets, engineering and other basic scientific concepts. These materials will show students how to use beginning scientific tools.

Little learners are naturally curious and hands on science materials help develop that curiosity into a lifelong love of learning.

Any material used in a Pre-kindergarten classroom must be easy to use, attraction and allow for hands on exploration. These materials are perfect to meet all of these demands.
