My students are Juniors in high school who choose to take Chemistry. They are 60 percent minority and about the same in poverty level. These are bright students with very few resources. Our school is located on the White river in Northeast Arkansas. This was once a thriving town , and in terms of rice production it still is an important part of this country’s food industry. If anything, our students are patriots. We have a strong ROTC program and many graduates join the service.
My Project
These items are meant to teach specific content areas. The Colorimeter is used for Beers law. This is the schools first year to have AP Chemistry and this adventure requires some special equipment. Also here are some supplies like electronic balances that we will use every year and some personal protective equipment. Students will put on their gloves, weigh out the sample on the balances and analyze them with the instrument . The students taking AP Environmental and AP Chemistry will actually have an opportunity to earn college credit if they pass the test and will definitely be more colleges ready whether they pass their end of course test or just use the rigorous training to help students pass College Chemistry or Physical science or environmental science.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
