My Project

There is little doubt that math and science work hand in hand, and my students in AP Biology  are anxious to learn how arithmetic can be utilized to mimic science principles! The TI-XIIS calculators that are  required for these calculations are needed by many of my pupils, but they lack access to them. Calculators from this class set will be an invaluable aid in improving students' comprehension and use of scientific ideas. I want my pupils to be able to make the connection between what they are learning in class and how it pertains to situations in the real world with the aid of these calculators.

With calculators in hand, my students will be able to tackle tricky scientific calculations with confidence.

They will be able to apply math to examine facts, generate hypotheses, and reach sound findings as well as understand how math fits into the larger context. Additionally, they will be able to conduct more challenging experiments with these calculators and delve deeply into the fascinating realm of science.

Let's work together to ensure that our learners have the calculators they need to reach their full potential in Ap Biology. I strongly believe in experiential learning and providing my students with the resources they need to be successful. Please assist me in making this class more approachable and entertaining for all students!
