My Students
As a Biology and Physics teacher, I would really like to use this book with my students to help them understand the big picture.
My students are a great group of excited and inquisitive students that are always asking me to read from the copy of "The Sixth Extinction" that I keep on my desk.
We are a comprehensive public charter high school located in Southern California with very limited supply budget.
My Project
My students need a class set of 32 copies of Elizabeth Kolbert's Book, "The Sixth Extinction, An Unnatural History". If these books are provided my students will have the opportunity to experience the ideas and explanations presented on their own schedule at their individual pace. They will hopefully be able to relate his stories to the world around them and see how everything "comes" together using the science they are learning in my class.
I'm hoping that you will see how these books will directly enrich my students understanding of world around them while at the same time developing a deeper love of science in general.
It is only through the generosity of donors as yourselves that I can make this exposure possible.
More than half of students from low‑income households
