These tips can be reimagined to fit the resources and budgets of your school or classroom. There are websites, like DonorsChoose.org, that help teachers raise funds for educational uses, and PBL fieldwork tools or a curation cart are great requests. And there are nonprofit transportation services in many communities to transport your student researchers to various sites. Your school’s backyard can be a great resource too. And if fieldwork is not an option, you can ask a community partner to bring samples to the school so students can take photographs, explore, and curate.
