Funded Apr 15, 2015First and foremost I want to thank all those that donated and provided my class with a new set of dissection tools. The students loved having new tools to use and set the standard for how to handle and maintain their care. Students enjoyed having enough supplies to work in pairs rather than larger groups. They utilized each and every tool within the kit for their dissections. Once the dissection was over each class took time and care to thoroughly clean and decontaminate each and every tool. Students counted each tool to make sure everything was accounted for. They took such pride in their new materials. Even though they are moving on to another grade level they will still be able to utilize these tools. Their 7th grade science teacher is currently working on providing a dissection for them as well.
Students utilized the resources to dissect sheep hearts, which are almost the exact same size as their current hearts. They function the same and look the same. This allowed students to get a hands on look at their hearts, how they feel, and what they are composed of on the inside. Through hands on dissection they learned many things about their hearts they would have not learned otherwise. Your support has impacted the students lives forever, they will always remember their heart dissection and how they work.
Once again, Thank you so much for your support!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Hall
