"I teach in a 6th grade gifted and talented science classroom in a high-need school system.

Since there are so many science teachers at our school, there is limited access to different science supplies my students can use.

I am asking for beakers, test tube stands, medicine droppers, and flasks to be able to use during science labs. By receiving these materials my students will be able to have several "hands-on" and "minds-on" scientific explorations throughout the rest of the school year!

If you assist with this project you will make it possible for these students to have real-life experiences with science and may even spark the interest for them to pursue a job as a scientist! HIDE

My students need 12 Test Tube Racks, 2 sets of Erlenmeyer Flasks, Glass Beakers and Medicine Droppers. The cost of this proposal is $599, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
