My Students

We live in an increasingly digital world and our science students should be engaged in collecting and analyzing data digitally. Our school currently only has 5 digital data collection probes meaning that my students must work in groups of 5 or larger during labs. Help me cut that number down!

Our high school is in the state of Nevada - one of the hardest hit by the current economic downturn in the US.

Currently our state is near the bottom of the barrel in per pupil spending meaning that our science supplies are terribly outdated and woefully inadequate. Help me bring our school's science lab into the current century by allowing my students to collect, share, and analyze data digitally. I want to help nurture the next generation of scientists engineers and I need your help!

My Project

With the digital probeware that you will be helping us to purchase, our science students can perform experiments that explore the relationship of gas pressure to volume or temperature. Biology students can investigate the rate of plant respiration. Environmental science students can investigate the pH of soils and ground water. Physics students can investigate collisions and the relationship of force to motion. The students can collect and share this data wirelessly and analyze their data for trends. They will be able to find mathematical regressions to make predictions with their data and test a multitude of hypotheses in real-time. We can share collected data with the math department so that our algebra, statistics, and calculus students can work on real data and experience the confluence of mathematics and science.

The United States is falling behind other developed nations in the production of competent practitioners in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Your support will help to correct that trend. Help me to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers through your donation!
