My Project
The understanding of atoms and how they were discovered is extremely difficult for students.
Atoms make up everything and are the building block of chemistry understanding.
Students can't see an atom and it makes it an abstract concept for many of them. Trying to get students to grasp that and the protons, neutrons and electrons that make them up can be a challenge. These lab kits will help students grasp the things they cannot see.
Once a student can understand an atom and how they were discovered, they can have a better understanding of chemistry.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
