My Project

We would like to introduce a love of science by combining hands-on science experiments that involve ice and water. We need a countertop ice maker, scoopers, tongs, and more. Science offers children an understanding of the world around them. When they participate in science activities, it nurtures their curiosity. Simple hands-on experiments with ice and water teach young learners about cause and effect, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Science experiments with ice and water can introduce young learners to basic scientific concepts and vocabulary.

Science experiments encourage curiosity and exploration. Science experiments promote teamwork and communication skills, as well as a love of learning through hands-on science experiments for young learnings. This project also bridges school and home connection because the experiments being taught can be completed in homes with simple products all families on hand.
