This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
My science curriculum is heavily reliant on practical laboratory exercises that promote inquiry-based learning and critical thinking among students. Getting these new lab tables is essential to uphold the high standards of science education at our school with the larger class sizes this year.
Lab tables are indispensable in this environment as they offer ample space for conducting experiments, organizing materials, and facilitating collaborative work among students.
Unlike traditional desks, lab tables are designed to withstand the demands of scientific experimentation, providing a stable and safe surface for various chemical, biological, and physical investigations. By investing in these tables, I ensure that each student has equitable access to the tools and space needed to engage actively in the scientific process, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of scientific principles and practices.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
