My Project

Over my years of teaching chemistry, I have developed a great appreciation for traditional chemistry lab tools and procedures. It is foundational that students understand how to perform the classic chemistry experimental procedures, but it is quickly becoming imperative that students know how to operate digital, computer- interfaced science lab equipment and how to read and analyze data by computer The LabQuest mini, the temperature probes, and pH probes that I am requesting will greatly benefit our developing science lab for my students of chemistry and physics. Students will be able to take measurements more easily and to spend their time concentrating on analyzing data graphically, thereby developing skills that are crucial for colleges and careers in science. And of course, students will enjoy operating the LabQuests.

With the devices, my chemistry students will be able to perform experiments in to analyze acidity of environmental chemical water based sample solutions and learn to neutralize them safely.

In these days of abounding budget cuts, in order for me to update and modernize the lab experience for my students, our school must rely on outside donations and grants.

Thanks to DonorsChoose.org, for several years now, I have been able to add technology to all my science classes, little by little, for students to share. Any and all equipment we receive will benefit all my classes - chemistry and physics students of all levels, so that more lab groups will be able to have access to perform the labs simultaneously (instead of waiting in long lines to use the computer probes.) Anything you can do to help expand my science program is appreciated.
