Strings and Things for the New School Year!

My students need basic supplies to get the year started off conducting experiments on motion and forces. Supplies such as scissors, paper & watercolors are necessary for these activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Morrison's classroom raised $526

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are creative and talented students who are passionate about the arts. As a teacher I aim to use that passion to help them understand and discover the world through science.

All of my students seek to understand the world on a deeper level to be able to translate that understanding into their art.

We will be conducting hands-on investigations inside and outside of the classroom. The students will be learning how to ask questions, observe changes, analyze their observations, find patterns, evaluate and reflect on the results.

My Project

Starting as a new teacher with an empty classroom can be daunting. But with your support the start of the school year will be a success.

Your donation will help provide the basic necessities for experiments and phenomena exploration.

Students will use scissors, strings, tape and markers for all sorts of activities including exploring ways that Newton's Laws affect the Earth, Moon and Sun. Watercolors will help both art and science students to visually show their observations of the world. Lessons are designed to engage curiosity, encourage discussion, and examine questions. These materials will help me to build a foundation in my classroom for the future.
