Help me give my students feel like real life scientists by examining real life specimens -from a peacock feather, a stag beetle to a super realistic replica of an iguana skull.

My Project
These STEM products, I have selected will help my students experience, engage, and understand the world around them in a different way. Many of my students never leave their neighborhood. I want my students to see beyond their neighborhood and develop a natural curiousity and desire to explore the world around them. By engaging my students with these various hands on learning kits and the Reading and Writing Folder. It will equip them with the skills and mindset to be life long learners and to thrive in the 21st century and beyond.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
