My Project

At our school, we're passionate about providing hands-on learning experiences for our students. However, the cost of lab materials for dissections, especially for 75 students, exceeds our budget. We're seeking donations to ensure that every student can actively participate in our ecology lessons, including dissecting owl pellets and frogs.

These activities are vital for understanding how organisms interact within ecosystems.

By exploring owl pellets and frogs, students gain invaluable insights into ecological relationships and environmental dynamics.

Your contribution will directly impact our students' education, fostering a deeper appreciation for science and the natural world. Help us make learning come alive in our science lab. Thank you for supporting our mission.

Grades 9-12
