My Project

My students really love hands-on experiences. Our chemistry lab is in need of updating its balances. Most of what we have were ancient when I first arrived thirty years ago. In order to do certain experiments in a safe manner, we must have both accurate and precision quality balances. Thus, we are making the move to getting electronic digital balances for our young chemists to learn the proper methods and procedure for conducting chemistry experiments.

We have five lab stations and so we are wanting to obtain five digital balances to get this process of modernizing our science laboratory started.
