This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Oliva from Chicago, IL is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Density Labs for 5th and 6th Grade Scientists!

Help me give my students film canisters, steel washers, digital scales, and a variety of containers so that we can calculate the density of everyday objects!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Oliva's classroom raised $535

My Project

Every science class should be teeming with lab and fieldwork that requires students to think critically, problem solve creatively, and communicate effectively with others. We are ALL scientists!

Lectures are boring.

Let's get our hands dirty and learn by DOING!

Please help me bring to life the scientific concepts of mass, volume, and density for ALL of my students with these high quality, reusable lab supplies. With your generous gift, we can explore patterns that show an object's density is determined by both its mass and volume and that its density is a characteristic property!
