My students need lab coats and gloves in order to experience a real world scientific lab. By wearing the appropriate lab coats and gloves they will feel real and this will impact their self confidence.

My Students
My students come to my class expecting hard and challenging lessons. I have had great success with many students leaving my class with a strong background in chemistry and physics. My classes consist of lecture, working on problems and lab experiences in a wide variety of areas.
Many of the students enter the engineering and medical areas of study in college and do very well.
My classes consist of high school chemistry and physics students who want to push themselves into very technical fields of study. Our school is a school that likes to pilot different ideas with our students and our staff. Roughly 80 to 90% of our students take chemistry and/or physics with about the same % taking anatomy. In general our school is very science minded when it comes to upper level classes. Many of the foresaid students enter careers that are very technical and challenging because of their high school experience. As in any school we have students with different levels of interest and serious intent. However our school seems to have a group of students with very high motivation and demeanor to not only reach their goals but to do it with pride and dignity for the community from which they come. Our students make us teachers proud to be their teachers.
My Project
After doing research this summer and learning new skills I plan on bringing many of the techniques and skills I acquired to share with my students. The materials I am asking for will allow my students to dress the part. That is to wear the proper attire for research in a sterile environment. The lab coats and gloves will be something that is required of the many researchers in their fields of study and is a vital ingredient to fulfilling a real world experience in the classroom.
The donations will be used to enhance the safety of my students in the classroom and in the future by creating good habits that will carry through a researcher's career.
I feel not only dressing the part makes you feel it is real but it also creates a different form of confidence and security in what the student is doing. If you dress the part you are more likely to act it or do it correctly.
