This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach high school students who are eager learners and are wanting to break the cycle of working for the family business. A lot of them are gifted in their learning while some are further at the back, needing more attention and focus to master the content. No matter where they fall on the scale, they all put their heart and soul into their work and try their hardest in my class everyday.
Most of my students are wanting to attend a college or junior college once they graduate.
Some are just looking forward to entering the workforce to help support their family. Either way, the skills they are learning are to better help them in they years to follow high school.
My Project
This proposal is for Laboratory equipment for high school chemistry. Labs demonstrate to students how interconnected the concepts that they learn are. Labs are necessary for students to apply what they are learning in class and help solve real-world problems and situations. Without the proper materials to implement a lab, science classes are slightly boring and students do not get the hands-on learning they should have. The objective of laboratory teaching is so students are exposed to first-hand experience in observation and manipulation of the materials of science is superior to other methods of developing understanding and appreciation. Laboratory training is also frequently used to develop skills necessary for more advanced study or research. I want to include these labs into the curriculum so that students are aware of all the things that Chemistry relates to and how problem solving in the lab can help them with problem solving in real life.
