Cosmic Variance Challenge 2008

Edit title

Thank you very much for all your help and support. Your donation has brought joy not only to my students, but to me as well. We look forward to getting to use these microscopes and being able to experiment with them. Now my students will be able to experience the wonderful world of science and I will be able to teach them about it. You have provided the opportunity for my students to gain new knowledge, and hopefully this will inspire the curiosity of future scientists”

Thank you so much for your generous donation! We are so excited to have access to Current Science News. We look forward to keeping up to date about what is happening in the world around us. This donation will be helping over 400 students with reading, and then processing the information into writing. We couldn't have done this without you! Thanks again”

Thank you very much for your generous donation! My students are very anxious to begin their analysis of stars. The spectral analysis kit and spectrum tubes will truly bring this study to life. I have several astronomers that have offered to come into the classroom during this time---so the connection to the science workforce will be even stronger! I know that my students need to be prepared for 21st century science and your support is helping to make that happen. It is rare that middle school students get to work with materials like this, so again, thank you very much for making this possible”

The Spectacular Science Club is so appreciative of your donation. Students arrive to school an hour early to participate in the club. As the club advisor, I work hard to prepare meaningful and engaging lessons for the students. Having the hands-on materials to use is such a blessing to my students, many of whom do not have access to these types of materials at home. Thank you for helping bring science alive to my fourth and fifth graders”

Thank you so much for funding my proposal. I was so thrilled to check my email this morning and see that it was fully funded. My lower level students have read the handful of books that are at their level, so this donation will provide a much needed infusion to our classroom library. My students will be ecstatic when I share the news with them on Monday morning that they will be getting these books.

Thank you for your donation. You have made a difference in the lives of my 20 students, and you have provided our class with a quality library of books that I would be unable to afford on my own”

Thank you so very much for funding this project! I am so excited about using technology in my classroom for math and science! In anticipation of this projector, I have been creating presentations and videos for my students to see and work with. I am thrilled that I will be able to use them with my whole class and not just "smooshed" around a tiny screen, as my students like to say. You can be sure that the moment this projector arrives, my class and I will be diving right in! Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation”

Wow! We are so excited! When I showed my students on the computer the science materials you funded for our class they all gasped! As they ohhh'ed and ahhh'ed over the science tools they began to clap. So far this year our class really enjoys conducting science experiments. This helps makes science really come to life! Thank you again for your incredible donation”

Thank you so much for funding my proposal on DonorsChoose.org, "Chicka,Chicka-Kaboom! Connecting Science And Literature!!!" I was so excited when I saw that my proposal had been funded. I can't wait to get the new science/literacy materials to help my students learn and enjoy learning about science. This is a wonderful gift you are giving my special kids and I know they will learn so much from these materials. It is wonderful people like you that make it possible for teachers to have the "extras" that make learning so much fun.

Thank you so very much,

Thank you so much for your wonderful contribution to my classroom. The students will be very excited to work with the lab activities. These activities will help them understand the Physical Science Curriculum that they will be tested on during our annual statewide assessment. All of these lab activities can be reused each year for my incoming classes. Many of these students have never participated in a lab or hands-on activity, so this is a very amazing gift to them.

Thank you so much for helping me and my students,

Thank you very much for your generous donation! It is awesome to know that all of our students will be able to participate in the Science fair with display boards. This will give them confidence in their projects, knowing that they will have the boards.

Once again, many thanks!

Have a great day.
