Science Needs

Funded Nov 7, 2012

On behalf of my students, I want to thank all of you for providing us with the calculators we so desperately needed. In the short time we have had them, we have been able to complete 3 lab activities (one of which is pictured here) with all students being able to contribute to the work, not just have one calculator per group.

This has also contributed to a greater understanding of the concepts being taught. The success rate on the exam associated with this unit (astronomy) was higher than in the past, when students not only didn't have their own calculator to learn with, but did not have one to take the exam with.

Your contribution not only impacts my classroom on an almost daily basis, but is invaluable in reinforcing some of the basic math skills they need for math. I have heard great things from their math teachers as well.

Again, thank you so very much! I look forward to thinking of all of you every time I pull them out for my students for a very long time.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Lopater
