My Project

A K'Nex Bundle, building sets, magnets, and more will be used with the standards I am teaching. These materials will allow me to demonstrate how science works and give students hands-on experience trying for themselves!

My goals for this project are to give my students new tools to use in our classroom and to help aid them in their learning.

My students love science and all things experiments. They want to explore, and not having these materials limits my ability to provide them with these amazing resources. They are kind, caring children who are innovators!
