Chemistry Equipment

Help me give my students chemistry equipment to explore the many different aspects of chemistry.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. O'Donnell's classroom raised $750

This project is fully funded

My Project

My freshman science students are full of curiosity and energy, and I want to keep that excitement going by bringing chemistry to life with hands-on experiments! I’m hoping to get a variety of chemistry sets that will let them explore the world of chemical reactions, test out their ideas, and learn in a fun, interactive way.

These chemistry sets will make abstract ideas like reactions and the properties of matter something they can actually see and work with, not just read about in a textbook.

My goal is to give my students the chance to experiment, ask questions, and maybe even discover a love for science that lasts a lifetime.
