My students need lab supplies, including 3 each of the endothermic and exothermic reactions kits and a disappearing rainbow kit, to provide a interactive inquiry based experience to help understand what happens with chemical reactions and how energy is created or used.
It is often hard to really understand chemical reactions without being able to visualize and see it all happen. Help allow my students work through labs that allow them to produce chemical reactions and have them discover what happens.
My students are a wonderful group of curious students.
Their families have chosen our school due to the unique teaching strategies we implement. Through hands on group activities our students will explore the world of chemistry. They will learn how different chemicals interact and how water is the universal solvent. The materials requested here will help teach the basics that are needed for my students to carry out an environmental assessment of the stream water quality in our community. This final projects inspires my students to learn the information they need to carry out the assessment.
My Project
The lab supplies that I have requested will help support stations where students are able to use a hands-on inquiry activity to create a chemical reaction that they can either see happen (the disappearing rainbow) or that they can feel the chemical reaction either use energy or release energy in the endothermic and exothermic reaction kits. These supplies will allow for my students to complete the lab in groups rather than just have a demonstration completed for the entire class. These labs will help us prepare for our water chemistry research on a local stream.
Help to increase our performance in science and math in our nation by providing real life understanding of the material.
Help to create a student that has confidence and extensive knowledge of science content. Help to make a difference in the future of our students.
