My Students

I am very fortunate to teach the students of this community. They are motivated, inquisitive, and really enjoy collaborating when given a project. Over the past year, parents have generously donated towards my vision of introducing STEM-based chemistry and biology labs involving amazing technology that is used to gather data.

The community in which I teach is very supportive of science education and hands-on learning.

Having the tools and resources available for their children to conduct meaningful labs provides them a quality science experience which the parents appreciate.

My Project

Most chemistry labs require small quantities of reactants, such as a pinch of this or that but our classroom scales cannot measure anything less than one gram. Sometimes lab instructions ask for amounts that have a hundredth of a gram involved also. This is a problem that needs needs to be fixed especially if the students need to obtain accurate results.

If my students had digital scales that could measure hundredths of a gram, then they would obtain results with precision and accuracy!

I have found nine digital scales that can handle masses of 500 to 0.01 grams. So small masses are no longer a problem.
