Help Ms. Robb

I teach biology to 10th grade scientists at a charter school on the south side of Chicago. My students are from a high need community with over 91% considered low income.

I hear and I forget I see and I remember I do and I understand - Chinese Proverb This quote underscores the need for a hands-on approach to science teaching. Without this approach students must rely on memory and abstract thought, two methods which restrict learning in most students. By actually doing and experiencing science, my students will be able to develop their critical thinking skills as well as discover scientific concepts. This self discovery will stay with them while memory fades. I am a strong believer that if my students are not doing hands-on science, they are not doing science. However, in order for this learning to take place they need supplies to "get their hands-on."

This is why a classroom set of cow eyes will help my students see science in a new light. Cow eyes have many similarities and differences compared to human eyes. It will help students see and understand how eyes work and learn a valuable skill of dissection; a skill that will be expected of them in college science classes.

Your support with help my student and foster a love for discovery and an appreciation for the complexity and connection of living things.
