Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 16

Receiving the silly scientists grant enabled me to make science fun, exciting and engaging for all of my students. The students loved using science tools, investigating, and actively taking part in their learning. They were able to closely investigate and ask questions, while working with their peers to better understand how to make good observations and use their five senses while learning and discovering the worls around them.
