  • Calculators for Science!

    Funded Nov 28, 2022

    Thank you so much! I am very grateful that you have helped my students get much-needed calculators for the classroom These will be perfect for my biology students to analyze their lab results with and to use on tests. Calculators are a vital necessity so students can concentrate on the scientific theory and methods while remaining accurate. They will help students boost their confidence in biology activities while still developing their math skills.”

  • Microscopes for Motivation!

    Funded Oct 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating to my classroom! The students will love doing hands on work with these, and they'll be able to experience so many different activities now! Once these arrive, I'll gather algae right away to show them a microscopic ecosystem that is normally hidden from sight!”

  • Measuring Oxygen in the Biology Lab!

    Funded Sep 24, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping my students get the best science education possible during virtual learning! This is going to make their upcoming lessons far more interactive and exciting. My students are very engaged in class, and they eagerly anticipate doing interesting experiments! I will send pictures of the cool experiments they get to conduct using this sensor so you can see the impact it makes for them.”

  • Hands-on With Molecules!

    Funded Sep 16, 2020

    Thank you so much for contributing to my biology class! These model kits are going to help my students immensely. I've used them in previous schools so I know how effective they can be in helping kids understand many difficult concepts in biology. They will be especially beneficial for the kids that I teach at Mater Academy, since they allow me to break past any language barrier an English language learner may have. Again, thank you so much for helping my students achieved great things!”

My students include a large percentage of English language learners. They are eager to learn, however they can struggle with scientific terminology and conceptual learning. To improve their learning experience, my students need differentiated lessons, visuals, and direct involvement. The needs of my students are more difficult to meet during remote learning, such as hands-on activities and experimentation. Involvement in science, rather than passive learning, can help these kids greatly.
