Foot Bone's Connected to the Leg Bone....

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

I teach Science in my district's junior high. We are a low-income district in rural southwest Mississippi. I have no laboratory facilities at my disposal, which makes teaching science quite a challenge, to say the least! The sum total of manipulatives - that's a fancy word for things that kids can actually hold and touch - in my classroom currently consists of 4 quartz crystals, and 5 dead critters in formaldehyde jars. My state-mandated curriculum says that I have to teach the structure and function of the human body to my 8th grade students. I would very much like a life-sized plastic skeleton to use when covering this information. Like most junior high students, my kids are woefully ignorant of how their bodies work, and why they work the way they do. If I have a model of a skeleton on which to build, we can effectively "create" a human body replica in the classroom using playdoh! My students would flip over such a project! Any consideration you can give to my proposal will be greatly appreciated. And who knows...I may have the child in my class who will one day find the cure for the common cold! Won't you help him or her get a good start toward medical school? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give us!
