My Project

If you ever want to see the critical thinking skills and creative capabilities of a group of students, stop by my classroom during a biology or anatomy lab. My students are curious, creative, and motivate me to make each lesson better than the last. My students come from extremely hard-working, middle class families. They count down the days for each dissection we perform in anatomy, they work diligently to complete each lab assigned, and their excitement is evident each time they are given the opportunity to step outside the norm and learn in a hands-on environment. They deserve a world opportunity, and I work my very best to give it to them.

Keeping the lab stations properly equipped for six science classes and 200 students is a difficult task!

Over the last 9 years of teaching anatomy, the dissection tool kits at the 11 lab stations in my classroom have been used extensively. Some of the tools have rusted over the years, and a handful of tools have been broken or lost. It would be wonderful to be able to replace and upgrade the tools in these lab stations so that my students can be well-equipped for an incredible dissection experience.
