Everyone Remembers Dissecting in Science Class!

Help me give my students tools such as scalpels, tweezers, and probes to help them have a wonderful experience dissecting in science class!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Kilmartin's classroom raised $223

My Project

Most of us remember dissecting in science class. Whether it be the cat, pig, or in our case, a sea lamprey, dissecting in science is one memory that stays with all of us.

Please help my students create lasting memories of dissecting in science class by helping us get the right tools for the job!

My students LOVE anything hands-on in science. Dissecting sea lampreys in my science class has become infamous in our school, and students cannot wait to get to 6th grade so they can participate in the experience. With your help, we can get new dissecting tools so my students this year and in future years can continue to create memories which they will talk about for many years!
