Their faces lit up — they immediately started asking questions and brainstorming ideas for how they can use the material to build their molecules . It was clear that these tools made learning feel real and exciting.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on building simple circuits to understand electricity, and I can already see how the resources you provided are helping them think more creatively and collaborate more effectively.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly transformed our classroom environment.
