My Project

I love how my students are excited to work in a science lab in middle school. They are able to have hands on learning experiences. Learning experience would be enhanced with more working balance scales to help students calculate the mass of objects. Many of our current scales are old and will not balance out to zero. Therefore, students calculate the incorrect mass due to scales not working correctly.

Students deserve a lab with working materials and tools.

Not having enough accurate balance scales increases the challenge of hands on learning.
