Third-Grade Loves Science!

Help me give my students materials to learn about their favorite science topics in the science lab.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patterson's classroom raised $315

My Project

We need to vamp up our Science Lab. My students love going into the Science Lab but we need new materials to allow us to investigate our new state standards. This year South Carolina has new state standards.

We need several items so the students can use hands-on opportunities to learn about their favorite science topics, including force and motion, weather, ecosystems, and life cycles.

We need wind-up toys, bar magnets, aluminum pans, paint trays, card stock, and balloons. Students will use these materials to create different designs throughout our science units and find answers to all their scientific questions.
