My Project

What better way to learn, but through hands-on learning. I want to give my students real world experience in taking measurement through labs using electronic balances. An electronic balance is an instrument used in the accurate measurement of weight of materials. Students will learn so much in being able to figure out measurements in a scale. Electronic balance is a significant instrument for the laboratories for precise measurement of chemicals which are used in various experiments. Laboratory electronic balance provides digital result of measurement.

By donating to our project, you will not only help in giving real world experience to my students, you will definitely be a part of creating academic achievers that will ensure success in learning.

Plus, in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
