Future So Bright, Gotta Wear Shades (or Lab Goggles)!

Help me give my students their own pair of lab goggles, lab notebook, and calculator, which are required supplies for college-level science courses!

My Students

Learning chemistry is much more effective (and fun) when students are learning from each other. I foster collaboration in my classroom by encouraging students to work with each other on problem solving and projects.

They like to discover patterns, make connections, help their classmates, and solve problems!

My students are in a selective enrollment school in an urban area, meaning they applied and were accepted to our school. Despite being a selective enrollment school, we still have a population with over eighty percent low income and minority students. Many of my wonderful students have overcome significant obstacles to get where they are today. My students are inquisitive, easy to work with, passionate, motivated, and like to be challenged.

My Project

The seniors going off to college will be taking at least one laboratory science course. In college, I remember having to purchase my own pair of goggles and carbon-less lab notebook for the weekly chemistry lab. Many of my students will be relying on financial aid or scholarships to cover the costs of college and these required materials are not cheap!

It would be great if I can gift seniors with a "Future Chemist" gift set that includes a pair of lab goggles, lab notebook, and a calculator.

Not only will funding this project give students the materials they need, it will also improve their self-confidence as a scientist and, hopefully, make them feel more prepared for the next stage in their academic and personal life!
