G7 Materials List for Allergy Concerns
In our efforts to engage students in hands-on science lessons that are safe for all, please review the following materials. These materials are used during the unit to explore concepts. I can provide any additional information or material safety sheets if you have specific concerns.
Please contact me if you have any allergy concerns. I would love to work with you to determine how to modify the lesson / materials to make sure your child is safe. Please note, although we may use food items to model concepts, no materials are consumed unless designated so.
For soils - we have Espoma Soil available to use if needed.
