Books For Chemistry

My students need 20 copies of the book "Napoleon's Buttons".

I teach AP Chemistry in a low-income school in Oregon. Most of my students are Seniors who have already taken first year chemistry. Students who take my class are usually dedicated and focused, but still struggle with the issues surrounding a low-income setting.

It's really hard to make something like chemistry something my students can relate to. Sure, its everywhere around them, but they need concrete examples to grab their attention. Demonstrations and cool labs can only take you so far.

To round out the learning experience and help students get a better grasp of how chemistry affects the world around them, I would like to get copies of the book "Napoleon's Buttons". This is a phenomenal book that shows how chemistry has shaped history in so many ways.

Your donations will truly help my students more than you can believe. We are a small school in a secluded area and often get passed over for grant money from large corporations. Not only will these books help my students, but they will help them realize that others outside our community care for them.
