My Project

I am a high school Biology teacher in the state of Florida. My colleagues and I have always struggled to provide a hands-on lab for our students for hominid evolution. Students have always had to look at pictures to see how the skulls have changed over time from our early human-like ancestors up until modern humans. With this replica set, we can provide a truly memorable experience for our students that will stick with them for years to come.

Helps us provide that lasting memory for our students in a day and age when everything has become too digital.

There is nothing like getting your hands on something and seeing it for yourself. That is the beauty of science! Students experience the material in a whole new way that truly connects to their natural inquisitive nature when they can touch, feel, and see it with their own eyes.

This set will be used in all biology classes at our high school, which is classified as a Title I school. Over 400 students this year will get to experience this activity, and thousands over the next decade. We thank you for your consideration and support!
