I teach Biology and Chemistry, two science courses where students must participate in hands-on laboratory activities. However, I teach in a normal classroom not designed for scientific use and have limited access to scientific materials. Lacking electronic scales was the most significant material challenge last year. I expect my students to conduct sophisticated and challenging investigations to prepare for college level science. However, without electronic scales, I either have to pre-measure materials myself using triple-beam-balances (a time-consuming process) or avoid mathematical analysis in many of my labs (such as conservation of mass, calculating density, calculating the amount of product from a chemical reaction, soil analysis, etc.). Either way, students are less challenged to think quantitatively and labs are more archaic without access to electronic scales. Additionally, having electronic scales will save a huge amount of classroom time. Measurements can be made in seconds, opening up more time for actual learning when analyzing and discussing data. Funding this project would greatly improve my students' science education. Help keep our class in balance!
