Getting a class set of science lab coats and goggles would be an amazing addition to our classroom. I currently have two lab coats and two pairs of goggles. The students take turns wearing these during our daily science lessons and also wear them when they visit the science center weekly. I know that if we had a class set, I would be able to engage the entire class, more effectively, during our hands-on science lessons. The simple act of giving students lab coats and goggles to wear during their investigations and experiments truly transforms into "real scientists!" They feel empowered and important when they wear the science gear. They work harder and pay closer attention to their tasks. I can picture how excited my students would be this year, if I was able to pass out a lab coat to each little scientist, during our first science lesson (which is entitled "What is a scientist?"). I know this would have a huge impact on engagement for my students. Thank for for considering donating to my project!
