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.
I am a biology teacher in a school located in an urban city within North Carolina. The school has been designated as a high-need school.
Biology is a state tested EOC course. Students must score a level III or IV in order to graduate. Teaching at a high-need school with a limited budget has resulted in a lack of supplies. As a result, I must find alternative ways to perform labs. Sometimes these labs are successful and other times they are not.
In order to show cell specialization and body systems, my students need to complete dissections. I have not been able to complete dissections every year due to the lack of preserved organisms. My students need preserved minks for dissections in order to simulate an important goal in the Biology curriculum.
Your help will ensure that my students will understand the concept body systems and cell specialization. In addition, your help will assist students in gaining the knowledge and experience with laboratory equipment for Advanced Placement Biology and Human Anatomy/Physiology.
