My students need electronic pH probes to be able to conduct acid-base investigations for IB Chemistry.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Capasso's classroom raised $461

My Students
My students are a diverse group of bright young scholars from all over the NYC area, most of whom are first- and second-generation Americans, attending a competitive Title I school in Brooklyn, NY. Our school uses the International Baccalaureate's diploma program as a way to develop students' abilities across disciplines at a very high level and foster well-rounded individuals. We are an "IB For All" school which means that we fully cover the cost of the IB program - usually only available to private school students or a select group in public schools - so that all our students can achieve college readiness. My students often balance rigorous academics with a lot of responsibilities at home supporting their families all while maintaining a positive attitude and desire to learn.
My Project
My students taking IB Chemistry Higher Level are taking the equivalent of a college level introductory Chemistry course as well as the first part of an organic chemistry course. These students are doing science that I myself only did when I went to college! As part of the IB program, there are several mandatory lab practicals that students are supposed to perform, including using a pH probe to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. We currently only have two working pH probes for classes that often have 34 students. I am hoping to purchase two more pH probes with the goal of one day having a class set of eight, one per lab group.
More than half of students from low‑income households
