During one activity, students explored which objects were magnetic and sorted them into groups. They used the new magnets, trays, and recording sheets to test predictions and track patterns. One of my favorite moments was watching a small group excitedly discover that some objects they thought would stick didn't, which led them to ask why and look more closely at the materials. The hands-on tools helped them think like real scientists—observing, testing, and revising their ideas.","fullyFundedDate":1756730448133,"projectUrl":"project/science-materials-to-spark-curiosity/9346652/","projectTitle":"Science Materials to Spark Curiosity!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9624605_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726444098670","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9624605"},{"teacherId":9767918,"projectId":9605858,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donation of games and learning toys for our classroom.
