High School Biology Dissections

Help me give my students an advanced frog dissection biokit for two separate biology classes, a student classroom dissection kit, and other science classroom essentials.

This project is fully funded

Ms. Brooks Geo Next Generation Academy (7-12)
Indianapolis, IN Grades 9-12

My Project

What I love about my scholars is that they ask thoughtful questions, explore ideas with enthusiasm, and thrive when given hands-on opportunities to learn. Each of them brings a unique perspective to the classroom, and it’s inspiring to see them light up when they make connections between what they’re learning and the real world.

The dissection kits and microscope slides will provide powerful, tactile learning experiences that deepen their understanding of biology and anatomy.

The dissection kits will allow students to explore the internal structures of organisms, helping them develop a concrete understanding of body systems, form and function, and comparative anatomy. These experiences promote critical thinking, precision, and respect for living systems.

Microscope slides will open up a microscopic world they can’t see with the naked eye—cells, tissues, and microorganisms—making abstract concepts tangible. By using real slides, students can practice observation skills, develop scientific inquiry methods, and build a strong foundation for future science learning.
