My Students

There's no BONES about it! My students don't have resources to help them learn about the human body and skeletons.

My students are eager to learn but we do not have the resources available to us to provide hands-on learning.

The majority of my students live in poverty and our district does not have the funds for proper science tools. We want to be able to experience science first hand and make it enjoyable. They would appreciate any resources besides our out of date textbooks.

My Project

My students need life size models of human skeletons in order to identify and learn about human bones. The take-apart models will allow students to explore hands-on the human body by taking out and examining body organs. The human body stamps will allow students to label the main bones and organs in humans. Having these resources will help to get students engaged and interested in learning.

Donations to my students would be greatly appreciated.

They are so eager to learn but the boring old textbooks don't engage my students. They want to see human skeletons and the organs inside. Students want to understand more about the human body. Donations would make such a difference in my students learning. They will have realia to get them excited about learning.
