My Project

My Science Students are always wondering. They are creative, insightful 5th graders who are eager to learn anything and everything. They'd rather spend lunchtime with me learning than be in the cafeteria with friends. In the middle of learning about atmosphere, one student asked "what would happen if a plane ran out of fuel mid-air?". They are always wondering! We simply need pencils and paper to work on their creations. After scientific experiments, they construct a parallel design and need material. They don't have the means to supply themselves. Please help them with some basic necessities!
