My Project

The Digital Microscopes, Beakers, and Chem Lab sets will allow my students to experience Science in a whole new way compared to what they are used to. These items will allow my students to get a more hands-on experience during Science. I hope to open the eyes of my students to everything Science has to offer.

We are lucky to move into a new middle school this year with an actual Science lab, but we do not have any equipment to fill our lab.

By donating to this project, you will provide an opportunity for my students to experiment and learn new skills in class.

Please help give me the opportunity to show my students how exciting Science can be!
