My Project

Greetings,

Our Chemistry students need your help!

We are unable to purchase digital scales ourselves due to the exorbitant cost. These scales will be used by Chemistry students to obtain more accurate measurements when conducting experiments in Chemistry lab. The accuracy of a scale can have a big impact on a student's final results.

The current scales we have are very old and break down often. Your help in purchasing new scales will transform the lab experience for our Chemistry students. Our science teachers will also be grateful to you because their students will no longer struggle when taking measurements in the lab.
