Weighing In

My project needs 3 Triple Beam Balances.

  • $438 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Our 7th & 8th graders from our classes in Buffalo, NY are in need of scales to develop their measurement skills in science. We are in a high need urban area that lacks these resources to allow student success. With these triple beam balances, our students will have the opportunity to develop inquiry skills needed to be successful on the NYS science assessment tests. By your donation, you will help these 100+ students develop the inquiry skills needed to be successful.
