My Project

Thank you for clicking on my project! I teach 6th Grade Science in Northeast Washington, DC. We have our science fair coming up this year in May. Students and staff alike are very excited about this opportunity to see and create amazing science projects and experiments.

To fully engage my scholars, I wanted to give them no limit on their science fair projects and that is where you come in!

The students are very excited to make their experiments and projects; unfortunately, I can't afford to buy all of the supplies. We've got supplies for paper mache volcanoes, lava lamps, motorized mini cars, and various slime explosions all in here. My classes and I would appreciate any donation so we can have our Super Six Science Fair, thank you!
