Christina's Wish List
These are things that I would find helpful for teaching this year.
General Science 2026-2027
Mrs. Christina Karle
These items and other supplies on my Amazon wish list are needed to some of the
classroom science experiments as small groups of 3-4 this year. Many of these items
you might find around the house. I do have some of them but not enough for the student
groups to each have a set to use. If you have any of these, I will gladly take them off
your hands or (borrow & return ) My goal is to have plenty for everyone to participate
in hands on experiments! I will store these as they come in so we will have enough for
our groups.
