  • Light, Lines and .....Lost?

    Funded Apr 23, 2009

    We want to thank you so much for our materials. We have begun using them for science fair projects and for simply exploring the properties of light and sound. Did you know that different colors of light have different temperatures? We never dreamed this would happen but we have a big opportunity coming up because of using these wonderful prisms and lenses. We are emailing other schools and collecting their data to see if light temperatures are the same no matter where in the world you are located! Isn't t that exciting! We have been talking to a school in Alaska and in Trinidad. We have been taking light temperatures all over the place and finding some pretty interesting things about light. Who knew that this could be so fun; we didn't at first. I think we will be checking light out for a long ti The sound materials are going to be just as fun, we just know it!

    Thank you so very much for making our science classes so much fun. we really do appreciate it!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Atkisson

    Thank you so very much! I am really excited and can't wait to tell the children we will be able to print pictures. Yeah! Woohoo! It means so much to all of us. We have so little to work with anyway, and this is such an encouragement as it helps us prepare them for the world of work.

    thank you so much for your generosity! I can't wait to tell the students we are finally going to be able to see and record the exciting things we discover.

  • Digital Delivers Data!

    Funded Dec 4, 2007

    Thank you so very much for providing funding for this project. My students are ecstatic about having an opportunity to use 'real' materials to complete their goal. The other teachers in the building are also encouraged because someone has cared enough to help us provide current educational training to our students. Thank you for the bottom of my heart.

There are some wonderful, bright-eyed and eager-to-learn students in the southeastern corner of Michigan who are waiting for your discovery. These inner city, multi-culturally diverse elementary and middle school students love learning and would love to have a chance to thank you for helping them make their school year a bit easier for learning new things. I am the science teacher for these children and personally know their love for learning and their frustration when they need things they simply do not have. We have been working on learning the facets of the scientific process and want to create detailed journals, accurate data logs and use them for science fair, GLOBE and other projects.
