  • Calculation Science!

    Funded Nov 17, 2019

    We'd like to thank you very much for the donation of new calculators to the chemistry classes this year. They will most definitely be used!

    The students are just starting the very beginnings of a process we call stoichiometry. They are just learning how to balance chemical equations and how to find molar mass. The calculators save time and make the concepts a little easier when the students don't get bogged down in math with such numbers as Avagodro's Number (6 x 10 ^23) and having to multiply or divide such large or small exponents.

    Again we'd like to thank you from all the students in the Wasco High School Chemistry classes!!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sands

  • Bring Balances To Chemistry.

    Funded Feb 27, 2017

    First of all I want to extend my deepest thanks to all who donated to my classroom. My students were so excited when the shipment finally arrived, as was I. When I took out the balances I had students that thought they were amazing. The new equipment is being utilized in different lab experiments. . This new equipment has made my students feel more like scientist and that makes me very happy.

    We are just starting out this new year and with this new equipment my students will benefit from it for years to come.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sands

Our chemistry classes are in need of new balances. We are down to three working balances for eleven chemistry classes! We're in dire need of new epquipment! In chemistry to fully understand how balances and scales operate, there must be an understanding of the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a constant unit of the amount of matter an object possesses. It stays the same no matter where the measurement is taken. The most common units for mass are the kilogram and gram. Weight is the heaviness of an item. It is dependent on the gravity on the item multiplied by the mass, which is constant. The weight of an object on the top of a mountain will be less than the weight of the same object at the bottom due to gravity variations. A unit of measurement for weight is the newton. A newton takes into account the mass of an object and the relative gravity and gives the total force, which is weight. Although mass and weight are two different entities, the process of determining both weight and mass is called weighing.
