My students are a high risk, minority population attending an urban K-12. This school was ranked lowest performing in the state. During their middle school years, my students didn't have books, qualified teachers, or even a classroom. Science was taught in the hallway where they sat on the floor without desks and did worksheets. Four years ago, a new principal entered and turned this around. We are raising student performance in science by introducing as many laboratory activities and analyses as possible with direct links to application. Physics was offered for the first time ever last year. The majority of those students enrolled in Anatomy this year and are college bound. Unfortunately the economic crisis is hitting hard here in Nevada and our district has cut our budget severely. There are simply no funds to purchase materials for laboratory work.
