Inquiring Minds

My students need 1 analytical balance, 3 sets of calculators and 25 lab coats.

I teach AP Chemistry to Inner City Youth. My students come from high-need backgrounds and are looking to further their education by taking challenging courses during their high school experience.

These students are so excited about DOING chemistry, they just want to jump right in and test their ideas in the lab setting. Unfortunately,the school is on a tight budget and offers very few opportunities to carry out higher-level inquiry based laboratories.

Having the tools that are necessary to run official AP-level laboratories will take away the handicap of having few supplies to run College level labs that are required for student success with the curriculum. My students need an analytical balance in order to measure reagents accurately and in turn receive logical results from experimental reactions. Students can not afford their own calculators, the use of which is crucial to solving problems similar to those found on the final exam. Finally, my students will feel even more motivated and proud to "do" chemistry if they were dressed in official looking lab coats.

You will make it possible for my students to feel validated and have faith in the world community. They will be able to conduct College level laboratories, with "real" results that make sense,as if they were "real" AP Chemistry students and not forgotten inner city youth.
