My Project

My chemistry students need lab aprons for essential safety protection, batteries for digital data collection tools, and a phone holder to store student phones during lab time. These basic supplies will transform our classroom into a professional laboratory environment where students can explore chemical concepts with confidence and security.

The lab aprons are critical for protecting students during hands-on experiments, while the batteries power digital probes and sensors that bring modern chemistry to life.

The phone holder provides a designated storage location for students' phones during class, ensuring compliance with state mandates prohibiting phone use during instructional time while keeping devices secure and accessible after class.

Your donation will directly impact student safety and learning by ensuring every student has proper protection and access to modern scientific tools. These materials will help students develop laboratory skills, scientific thinking, and safety awareness that prepare them for college-level science courses and STEM careers.

Together, we can create a safe, innovative learning environment where students discover the excitement of chemistry while developing the skills they need for future success.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
