Help me give my students kits about brains under the influence, addiction, and the effects of concussions.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reed's classroom raised $486
This project is fully funded
My Project
This project includes multiple experiments for students to learn about the brain.
I am excited to use these kits with my students because all materials are included in these kits and no specialized equipment is needed for my students to learn about brains.
My students will conduct simulated blood alcohol tests and learn about alcohol poisoning and the effects of binge drinking on teens’ brains, collect and graph data on the effect of alcohol consumption on blood alcohol concentration, and analyze case studies. Students will be introduced to Floratryp, a fictitious drug, to learn about addiction and the brain reward pathway. They will also learn about concussions and engineer a solution that helps to prevent them.
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
