Science Lab for Early Learners

Mehfoud Elementary

Heading icon

With funding from LifeReady Solutions, formerly HEF Innovative Grants, Mehfoud Elementary School is converting their atrium into a hands-on science lab for early learners at the school.

Students recently used the space for an investigation about living and nonliving things by comparing real worms and gummy worms. Students learned that living things grow, have cells, need air, water and nutrients, and living things reproduce. Gummy worms? not so much!

This bright space will be utilized for so many engaging classroom and community activities.
