My Project

Hello everyone,

please give our students the hands-on-experience of dissecting frogs in the classroom.

This experimental interactive learning will give students a preview allied health careers for the future. Our school serves a diverse population of students , many of whom come from different backgrounds. Hands-on-learning experiences, such as dissections, are crucial for sparking curiosity, fostering critical thinking, and developing a deeper understanding of biological concepts.

Currently, our science lab lacks the resources to provide adequate dissection experiences for all students. A dissection kit, which included preserved frogs would allow our students to engage in active learning, develop critical thinking skills, inspire future scientists and have an activity to look forward to in the science class.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. We are grateful for your support and thank you so much for believing in our students.

Sincerely,

Ms. Sylvester
