Ms. Lewis from Tarboro NC is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help My Students Love Chemistry!

Help me give my students they need more lab supplies for hands-on experiences in the lab, because those experiences are enjoyable and help to increase their love of the subject.

My Students

I love how excited my students are they learn something new. I teach chemistry, which can be very difficult for students. It is so rewarding when they truly understand a concept, and they get excited about their knowledge! I also love the drive that I see in my current Chemistry students. They all want to learn, and that makes a huge difference in the learning process.

I also love that they are all individuals.

They come from very diverse backgrounds, and I really enjoy getting to know each one of them and their story. Being able to understand their personal needs really helps me to understand how best to facilitate their learning.

They are also always willing to try something new. Sometimes certain concepts can be a little scary for them at first, but they are always willing to try their hardest. The group of Chemistry students I have really are special!

My Project

We use balances very frequently in chemistry labs. Our school does not have enough balances for our students currently. They really need balances that are easy to use, and will accurately measure substances.

Laboratory experiment kits will help to ensure the students have hands-on chemistry experience.

The kits are designed to allow students to have an interesting experience in the lab. When they see things that interest them, they are more open to the learning experience. This really helps them to enjoy the subject, and their enjoyment makes learning easier for them.

Our school lacks many supplies that are necessary for successful Chemistry experiments. Any help we can get will greatly benefit the students. Being able to perform labs greatly enhances their learning experience!
