Our science club of 23 fifth grade students benefit from the fulfillment of this project. These materials reinforce the students' understanding of science concepts through hands-on practical experiences.\r\n\r\nThe students really enjoy their club experience. They work to increase their science knowledge through reading about and interacting with the science. They are excited to attend the club meetings and see what they will be working on each week.\r\n\r\nThe materials in this project helped with reteaching electricity. Students explored making closed circuits and exploring how energy sticks work.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation.
