Help Young Scientists Dress For Success!

My students need lab safety materials for 48 students, including rubberized aprons, goggles, and gloves.

Ms. L.
Grades 6-8

My eighth grade students in New York are eager and excited to have their first real science course since elementary school. Every day, I start class by assuring them that we will be in the lab as soon as possible. We will try to dissect something this year, and we are all capable of becoming the doctors, researchers, veterinarians, and forensic scientists so many of them listed as their career aspirations. I am thrilled to start my class this way, as I am equally enthusiastic about introducing my students to science. Unfortunately, though, starting a new middle school science program means picking up where the program left off nearly a decade ago. Our already limited supplies are antiquated, and my students are quick to realize this. I knew after a dozen students had passed around my lab coat, modeling their best "scientist" pose, that providing each student with appropriate lab safety equipment would empower them in the laboratory and motivate them to continue exploring science. On top of having limited supplies, I travel between classrooms every day of the week, so the lab is the one place my students associate solely with scientific exploration. Between my eighth grade class and the seventh grade class, our 225 students need lab aprons, safety goggles, and gloves to accomplish their dreams of dissection and discovery. Without this equipment, our students will be limited in what we can study and experience in the laboratory. Science is not complete without hands-on, student-driven inquiry. My students need the appropriate lab safety equipment to perform these labs, and to realize they are capable of achieving so much more than a traditional classroom lesson will allow. My students need to be able to dress the part of the scientists they strive to be every day!
