Chemistry Class Resources

My students need 5 electronic weighing scales in order to measure mass for density and other stoichiometric calculations.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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.

My Students

Most labs in chemistry involve math, mass, and data analysis. In our classroom we have triple beam balances that are broken, which hinders my students' ability to do any labs that involve mass. With these balances that can all change and lead them to be better scientists.

My students are in a low-income, high-poverty school where they have limitations beyond their means.

Specifically, my students understand that being in a low-income school impedes on the resources available to them, and I want them to believe otherwise. I have learned from my students that they really do love to learn when someone believes in them. They especially love to learn when they can see what is happening first hand. In my class we have the motto, "don't believe it until you see it." My students use this motto to prove things in science do exist and there is an explanation for such.

My Project

With these scales my students will be that much closer to having an equal education. These scales, in other schools, are general items in every science classroom. They will be able to use these scales to perform stoichiometric labs with limiting reagents. Additionally, they will be able to use these to complete density labs and dive into their scientific inquiry.

Having these scales in my classroom will allow my students to have the opportunity to perform more hands on labs.

It is my goal that with these scales they will be able to use them to perform college level labs, which would ultimately make them better scientists and better critical thinkers.
