Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

As a passionate educator, I strive to provide my students with engaging, hands-on learning experiences. Hydrochloric acid is a crucial component in various chemistry experiments, allowing students to explore chemical reactions firsthand. With a donation to purchase hydrochloric acid, my students would have the opportunity to conduct experiments that deepen their understanding of chemistry concepts and foster their curiosity in the sciences.

Your contribution would directly enhance their educational journey, empowering them to develop critical thinking skills and a lifelong appreciation for scientific exploration.

So please consider helping us to our goal!

Grades 9-12
