I teach Earth Science and Chemistry in an urban school in an urban school district. I teach the regular (as opposed to the Honor's and AP) course. These students are motivated but do need strong support to achieve.

A multimedia projector would allow me to visually take my students all around the world and show them such places as Mt. Everest when discussing the relationship between altitude and air pressure, the Artic Tundras where methane gas is bubbling out of the ground, and Iceland where evidence of the Mid-Atlantic Range is easily seen.

A multimedia projector is a powerful visual aid that would help keep the students motivated by enabling them to visualize what they are learning and give them a global perspective on life which will ultimately better prepare them for college.

Please help me show the students places that they cannot even imagine that existed with a multimedia projector.
