Mrs. Brandel from Jacksonville FL is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Breakout! of Classroom Norms

My students need a variety of locks, an invisible ink pen, a black light flashlight and other supplies to create and participate in science escape rooms! The storage boxes will be used for storage of all materials and hold the key to escape!

My Students

My students come from all walks of life. We are a Title I school in the downtown area, and many of my students come from low-income families. Despite their individual challenges, I teach some of the smartest, most determined students in Jacksonville.

These are the students who WILL change the world.

My students crave learning and new ways to learn. They want activities that they can manipulate. These students have such a willingness to learn and try new things. They are my inspiration!

My Project

Picture this: You and your friends are trapped in a spaceship and must reach Earth! You must use all of your knowledge about space travel to make the return trip home! Except, you aren't really in a spaceship, you're in a classroom, and you aren't trying to fly a ship home, you are learning and reviewing.

The requested supplies will be used to build a classroom escape room in which students use their knowledge of science to break out of class!

We need a variety of locks, an invisible ink pen, a black light flashlight and other supplies.

By donating to our project, you will provide students with opportunities to master science skills in a collaborative, fun, and safe environment.

With these supplies, I can transform our classroom into an environment that encourages teamwork while enhancing leadership skills. Students will use UV flashlights to find hidden clues across the room. These clues will allow them to answer questions that lead them to the storage boxes which contain the key to escape the room! These activities will test students on their science knowledge without having them sit at a desk. These materials will enrich the science curriculum in a new and exciting way!
