Science is hard enough to teach without budget cuts. Act within the first 7 days of posting and every donation up to $100 will be matched by using the match code "INSPIRE". Please help our students compete in the global arena.
Thank you all for funding this project and providing my students with the kits needed to analyze various proteins. We used fish proteins and compared the banding patterns to determine the evolutionary relationships that exist between different species of fish.
After the students observed the physical characteristics of the fish species in question, students made their hypothesis and then compared them to the results obtained from the SDS gel electrophoresis procedures. My students were very good and predicting which species might be related and were thrilled to have their hypothesis confirmed through the protein kits.
Thank you for supporting my students in their quest for knowledge and showing them how science is an essential part of their lives.”
Our students have been learning a lot about proteins this year. With your very generous donations, my students were able to isolate various proteins and then run them on fine-sieve agarose gel electrophoresis unit to see the banding patterns of different types.
This was the first step in a unit that ends with a quantitation of the proteins using a spectrophotometer to compare unknown quantities to our samples. Without your support for these labs, we would not be able to offer our students these biotech experiences.
Thank you all for your continued support of public education in New York City.”

Thank you all for supporting my students in their quest for knowledge. The bacterial transformation kits have caused quite a stir in my classroom. Everyone wants to see if they can get the E. coli bacteria to grow and eventually, to glow. We are in the first phase of the experiment in which students are plating the bacteria in nutrient rich agar petri dishes. Within days, we will replicate the process used by medical institutions to produce a target protein. In this case, the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) of deep ocean jellyfish. Our next phase is to isolate and purify this protein. This is how insulin and hormones for replacement therapy are produced commercially.
Thank you all for giving my students the opportunity to conduct hands-on activities that have real-world applications. And thank you for taking an active role in our children's education.”

Thank you all for funding this project and providing my students with the CD/DVD duplicator and blank media.
Our students create a lot of presentations as part of their graduation requirements as we are a performance-based, portfolio assessment school. I also take a lot of digital photographs in the course of a semester. As such, I intend to create a digital record of the students' work over the year and present each student with a disc collection of digitally recorded photos and presentations as a keepsake. Your very generous gift has provided the resources to carry out my goal.
On behalf of myself and all of my students, I thank you all most sincerely.”
Thank you all for funding this project and providing my students with the speakers systems for our projects.
We use the speakers in a wide-range of activities. Often they have been used when educational films were shown. Powerful and clear speakers helps tremendously with language acquisition.
Presently, the speaker systems have been used during presentations like the ones shown where students create PowerPoints, Prezis or videos of their results of their experiments and present them to teachers and students. Our school uses portfolio assessment as a way to give credit for student learning and we encourage creativity in presentation format.
Thank you for providing the speaker systems which allows them to add music, voice-over or other sound effects to their presentations.”

Thank you all for being a part of the educational process for our students. With your help, we were able to conduct a variety of experiments. We could not have done this without your very generous donations that provided the necessary chemical reagents.
Once the experimentation was completed, our students then presented their results to teachers and classmates in PowerPoint, or Prezi formats as a way to demonstrate their knowledge and as part of the portfolio assessment process.
Again, thank you for your support of our students and public education in New York City.”

Thank you all for being a part of the educational process for our students. With your help, we were able to conduct a variety of biotech experiments that involved extracting DNA from our cheek cells and analyzing it using gel electrophoresis. We could not have done this without your very generous donations.
Once the experimentation was completed, our students then presented their results to teachers as part of the portfolio assessment process. They had to do further investigation on genetics and bio-engineering and present their findings as a research paper.
