STEM's Fiery Spectacle: Unleashing the Power of Erupting Volcanoes
Help me give my students the opportunity to build an erupting model volcano!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sharpe's classroom raised $679
This project is fully funded
My Project
"What is your wow?" I asked my scholars this question the second week of school, and the majority were amazed by volcanos. When asked what they wanted to learn about in STEM lab, they wanted to build volcanos, learn about outer space and the ocean.
With your help, we can put volcanos within their grasp, and let their learning erupt!
Splash googles will help protect eyes from the "lava," and the volcano model will reinforce learning about the layers of a volcano and what causes eruptions.
Nearly all 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
