  • Fusion of Art and Science: DNA Barcoding

    Funded Dec 6, 2017

    I am very excited that this project was funded and that my students will had the opportunity to work on different and new science projects. You have truly have made it possible to bring more engaging and innovative projects into the classroom. Cannot wait to display and show the work that was possible with this equipment. Students have been able to develop ideas that can be showcased in Science Fairs, which is a great opportunity to be creative and artistic as well. We truly appreciate your donations.”

  • Fusion of Art and Science: Who Are My Ancestors?

    Funded Oct 2, 2017

    Thank you for the classroom resources. My students were able to store liquids safely and were able to measure out many different liquids with the micropipettors. This school year students were able to engage in a genetics project that was not a possibility in past school years. With your support we are able to bring various projects into the classroom and give students many choices, which they extremely enjoy.

    Students were able to trace ancestry using mitochondrial DNA and create a phylogenetic tree showing evolutionary relationships among classmates.

    Thank you again from my students and I for giving us this opportunity.”

These lab tools will give my students the opportunity to use equipment that they have not previously used and continue to develop measurement skills needed in science and everyday life. In this project, students will learn and use DNA lab techniques to discover their distant ancestors. Through the fusion of Science and Art, students will be encouraged to collaborate and create their own representation of a phylogenetic tree with data from their culturally diverse classmates. The opportunity to incorporate art in science, gives each student the opportunity to build reading fluency. Also, integrating art into science gives English Language Learners the ability to apply and demonstrate their science knowledge in creative and innovative forms.
