My Project

Studies show that when students consume enough water, they are able to show higher cognition and focus in the classroom. In this project, I am asking for individual water bottles that I can give to each student so that they can maximize their cognitive function. I will be doing this as a project where students personalize each water bottle with their name. This prevents them from accidentally drinking from another's bottle, and thus not spreading germs, but also gives them pride in having something that belongs only to them.

Having water bottles for each student also prevents them from having to leave the classroom and miss instruction to go to the water fountain.
