My Students

I work in a school where most of the students are coming from low-income houses. Despite their situation are dreamers. They dream of a brilliant future becoming professionals and being productive in our society.

Their economic situation shouldn't be an obstacle to accomplish their dreams

The generous support from people like you will help to become their dreams in reality.

I have brilliant and highly motivated refugees from Caribean and Central America.

They left behind gang violence and poverty and made harrowing journeys to come to the United States, many experiencing extreme dangers and tests of physical endurance.

My Project

According to Common Core standards, students must complete at least one lab per topic. These density block sets and pH paper will help students in building chemistry concepts in a simple, yet effective laboratory experiment on obtaining and analyzing densities and pH of different substances.

Your donation will help me to conduct an effective chemistry laboratory experience for my students strengthening their understanding necessary not only for this class but necessary to apply in college, university, and in real life.

Using the new density blocks, students were able to obtain mass data from four different substances for comparison of different densities with the differing metals. They were also able to obtain the volume of irregularly shaped solids through the water displacement method by using the graduated cylinders.

Thank you so much for your support!
