I teach in an inner city all girls public high school that has a math/science focus. This is our third year of existence and is the first year we are offering high school chemistry. The school building we are in was formerly a junior high and the science department is well equipped for junior high science. Unfortunately, we have many needs before we can have an effective high school chemistry program. Because we are a school-within-a-school (yet at a separate location), our school's budget falls under our parent school. The fact that one school operates on two separate locations makes money tight. Couple that with huge district cuts this year, and we have no science budget. All equipment, consumables, and chemicals must be obtained through grants. By looking through the lab experiments I expect us to complete this year, I made a list of all the equipment that we will need and do not yet have. This list includes basic lab equipment such as a scale that will weigh to 0.01 grams, side-arm flasks, pipets, Buchner funnels, volumetric flasks, and a distillation flask. It is the goal of our school that all girls who choose, will have the opportunity to go to college and the skills to succeed there. It is essential that these girls have experience doing laboratory experiments that utilize these items. HIDE My students need 7 Science laboratory supplies, including pipettes, flasks, an electronic balance and funnels.
The cost of this proposal is $1,171, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment Mrs. M.'s Classroom:
