Help Mrs. Russell

My school is a Title I school in a very low socio-economic neighborhood. Most of my students do not have the supplies nor the resources to buy the supplies to create a presentation board for a science fair. I want to be able to supply boards for all 3 science classes that I teach so that they will be able to participate in this very worthwhile, hands on activity. I think it's even more exciting for them to know that someone in this country read about their need and was generous enough to help them achieve their goals. I think that knowing that the world in which they live is not just full of crime and poverty but that it is a good place with people who care.

What does a scientist look like? My students need to know that a scientist looks just like them. In fact, they are scientists. They can think like a scientist, hypothesize like a scientist, experiment like a scientist and then report their work to the scientific community using presentation boards. I want my students to have the opportunity not only to design and implement a science project from start to finish but I want them to have the opportunity to display it on presentation boards to the entire school.

You will make it possible for my students, who have so little, to create something that they can be so proud of and be able to share that with their parents and members of the school community.
