Help me give my students the hands-on lab experience for neuroscience, using sheep brains and other materials!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kim's classroom raised $342
This project is fully funded
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
My 11th grade students are highly energetic, inquisitive and eager, who constantly challenge themselves. Most of them are in AP classes, take electives, and are involved in IT-related courses. They are very passionate in everything they do, inside and outside of school.
My students come from various parts of New York City, and many have families from all over the world.
They bring fresh, new experiences that liven and enrich our discussions in science class. They are the force to drive teachers like me to constantly improve our teaching methods, seek better resources into the classroom and learn new ideas.
My Project
Neuroscience is the study of the brain and how it affects our interactions with the world around us. Students take a year-long course in neuroscience by learning brain anatomy, brain function and disorders and reserach methods.
Students require dissection lab to have a deeper understanding of the brain anatomy and how certain neurological disorders develop.
Sheep brains are very similar to human brains, are relatively accessible and serve as comparison models. Dissection activities create rich discussion, exploration and growth in student learning. Thus, sheep brains, dissection tools and pans are needed for this course.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
