My Project

These race tracks, marble runs, and cars will provide students with the opportunity to learn about important science and math concepts in a hands-on interactive way. The items requested will last for many years and each year they will serve over 500 students.

Students will use these items to learn about speed, motion, force, measuring angles, cause and effect, plus many other important science and math skills in a fun and engaging hands-on way.

My students are the best I could ask for! They come eager to learn and are willing to do things that are hard for them so that they can master the concepts being taught. As a teacher, my goal is for them to independently demonstrate the concepts successfully after the lesson.
