We Want to Test Our Metal!

Funded Nov 11, 2022

Thank you for your support in starting my chemistry classes using materials science to incorporate practical applications into our curriculum. Last week, we melted large chunks of tin and tried our hands at pouring metal, first in the corners that you provided (we cut up the poured tin so that we could store them in smaller portions) and then as my student's comfort around molten metal grew, they tried pouring into a mold (you can see it at the end of the corner on one of the pictures). Finally pouring into a baking silicon mold to make letters. The student engagement was exciting and I am now getting student questions about when we can work with the metal again. I am hoping to try some foundry work soon! Thanks again!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Ox
