Project Description:

Goal - To create an effective Middle School Science program which integrates hands-on inquiry experiences using heterogeneous grouping.

I have been experimenting with using "Learning Centers" in my sixth grade science classroom and it has definitely caused a lot of magic and excitement. The students are discovering science can be a lot more fun when they are predicting, measuring, comparing and manipulating.

The problem I have is lack of equipment. I need more science supplies and materials related to the following areas:
Astronomy
Geology
Hydrology
Meteorology
Ecology

If you could donate any supplies to help my students to "do" not "view" science I would really be grateful. If you have expertise in any of these areas and would like to volunteer to share your knowledge that would be great too.

Thanks for your help!
