Supplies for Exploration

Help me give my students baking soda, borax, and shaving cream for science exploration.

Blackfoot, ID Grades PreK-2

My Project

I am asking for supplies that will engage my students' imaginations and curiosity.

From volcanoes to play snow and blizzards in a bottle, these supplies will foster a world of wonder and possibilities.

Baking soda and shaving cream are used for erupting volcanoes, making puffy paint and creating play snow. Let's be honest creating all these experiments is messy. The paper towels come in very handy when trying to contain the wonderful messes that my kids make. The paper plates and bowls are so very helpful in organizing the materials. We love to do hands-on learning projects and with the right supplies on hand we can explore at any time the opportunity arises.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
