My Students

Do you remember the worksheets or lectures you had in school? How about the activities you did? Chances are, the hands-on stuff you did in school is what really helped you learn. My students really want to dissect this year, and I would love to provide them with this hands-on opportunity!

My students are 7th graders in an urban school in Illinois.

The are so eager to learn, especially science! I love providing them with hands-on activities, but the cost can be overwhelming. My students have been bringing up dissection since the first day of school. I told them if they worked hard for me, I would see what I could do. Please help me reward my young scientists!

My Project

My students need dissection supplies such as 30 frogs, and two fetal pig packs pus a 240 piece dissection kits! These resources will allow my students to dissect two different organisms. One will be randomly drawn and then everyone will dissect a frog. I will have the students work in pairs so if students don't want to be quite as hands-on as their classmates they can do more observing. Although students will only dissect two organisms, they will be able to see a total of six different organisms. I'm so excited to watch my kids open a frog and see how large the liver is, or what a female's eggs look like! They are going to LOVE it!

My students show a natural interest in science.

I need to do everything in my power to foster this and help form young scientists. These donations will help keep a motivated group of students moving forward in their education!
