Thanks to Goodwin, Eufaula Elementary School is constructing a "Know Zone." Students at the school will have a designated science lab and resources to conduct experiments. The lab will be equipped with scientific tools such as microscopes, thermometers, magnifiers, and more to assist students with learning. An area will be reserved for students to contribute to and observe the lifecycles of plants, insects, and water animals. All classrooms will have equal access to the "Know Zone" and materials. Goodwin, who resides in Eufaula, noticed a need for the "Know Zone" after realizing the lack of an established science curriculum for students in Kindergarten through second grade who have classrooms without the adequate space to practice science.
