We Need REAL WORLD Science!

My project needs real world animal and mineral specimens to investigate for science!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. b.'s classroom raised $397

This project is fully funded

Science is all about our REAL world. My students greatly need some REAL world specimens to investigate with in my fourth grade classroom. The kids I teach have very limited real world experimentation. These kits contain specimens of frogs and insects as well as rocks, fossils, and minerals. The students I work with come from mainly under-privileged homes. They need to see and touch and explore as many REAL things that they can get their hands on. They would be able to use these specimens to answer high-order thinking questions given to them in a center/small group setting. I thank you in advance for providing these tools. I know they will make a difference in these children's lives!
