My Project

As an AP Biology teacher, I am committed to providing my students with engaging, hands-on labs. This year, I have 23 students in AP Biology, and we’ve been able to make the most of our lab materials. However, next year, the class sizes will grow significantly—up to 140 students across 4 sections. I am so excited that so many different students want to continue studying biology, but with this increase in students, the demand for lab supplies will rise accordingly.

We are expanding our AP Biology program, and we will need additional materials, including equipment for photosynthesis and cellular respiration labs.

These materials will allow each student to engage in critical thinking, experiment, and explore biological concepts directly.

With your support, we will be able to equip all students with the necessary tools to conduct experiments, work collaboratively, and deepen their understanding of AP Biology. Your generosity will make a lasting impact, helping students develop both their scientific skills and their passion for biology.

Thank you for considering a donation to help us expand our resources and provide every student with the opportunity to thrive in AP Biology.
