Get hands-on with RAFT.

For members who teach diverse student populations throughout the Bay Area, RAFT idea sheets and learning kits are ideal. * They deliver a hands-on approach to learning and understanding, using the low-cost materials typically found at RAFT, such as tubes, CD cases, fabric, and twine. Just right for teachers on small budgets, and for getting students involved in activities that will educate and challenge them.

Why “hands-on” gets high marks:

  • Students become proactive learners
  • Higher scores in science and math
  • Improves creativity, and language and logic development

As a RAFT member, you can choose from a wide selection of idea sheets. Each one outlines a hands-on activity that teaches a specific concept tied to California State teaching standards for art, science, and math. Our pre-assembled learning kits contain the materials necessary for a specific idea sheet, enough for 1-25 kids, and cost from 25¢ - $6.95.
* No mail-order kits or catalogs.

RAFT idea sheets:

  • Support curriculum standards
  • Extend concepts to real-world problems
  • Promote collaboration and interaction
  • Complement textbook lesson plans
