My students need dissection supplies and tools (scalpels, goggles, pans, gloves, pins, scissors, and probes) to complete their dissections
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fleming's classroom raised $955

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our students are all freshmen students who are in biology class. They are living on the southeast side of Chicago and attending a neighborhood high school.
Over the course of their freshmen year, the students grow a love for science.
We hope that their love continues as they go on to college and their future careers.
Our biology team prides ourselves on giving dissection opportunities to each and every student who walks into our school building. The students find this to be the most exciting thing all year. They cannot wait to go home and tell their families about it.
My Project
Do you remember your high school dissection experience?
The dissections is the most exciting time in a student's high school career!
Every year our freshmen students dissect a sheep heart, cow eye, sheep brain, frog, and fetal pig.
Our students always remember this experience, and come back year after year talking about it. The students learn through a hands-on experience. They are able to combine all of their knowledge on the body systems unit and see it first hand with their dissections.
This dissection is the reason some students go into the medical field. This dissection is the reason some students fall in love with science. It is the reason students are knowledgeable of the human body. This dissection is the reason some students come to school.
These materials are vital to assuring that the dissection unit is a successful one. We are asking for safety goggles and dissecting supplies like gloves, pans, scissors, pins, and needles.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
