My Project

These items will invite students to ask questions about living organisms, like the small pond setup, and apply their knowledge of ecosystems right in the classroom.

Students like seeing living animals and plants in the classroom so they will love the small pond!

Students also like growing plants themselves so the grow light and meter will be perfect for some of our labs!

We tend to make a mess in lab so the Clorox wipes and the dish detergent will help us keep our area clean and the materials ready to go for the next students to use them.

Mrs. Bieber
Grades 9-12
