Help me give my students four scientific hot plates to use in labs during experiments that require things to be heated to a certain temperature.

My Students
Do you remember your very first day of high school? Remember going to your very first Biology class where you are no longer just taking "Science" for credit, but now you are actually going to learn about a specific section of science? Looking around the room might have been different. Seeing the tables, sitting in the new, cool chairs to do experiments, goggles hanging on the wall next to the aprons that you would one day wear, sitting in the cabinet, jars with unknown creatures in it were just amazing! It just gave an unusual excitement as you anticipated what you'd learn!
My students are a group of very excitable scientists!
These students range in age from 14 to 18 years old. Currently, they are like sponges trying to soak up as much information they can about the world around them. Many of them are trying to figure out their role in the community as well as what career they might want to pursue once they finish high school. These students want to learn as much as they can to help make their decision of their correct career choice.
My Project
Currently, students are conducting experiments in small groups where the entire class has to share one hot plate. Having only one hot plate has a tendency to frustrate students because they are unable to complete their labs in a timely manner. Being able to answer questions, analyze data from experiments, and drawing conclusions are sometimes more effective shortly after the lab is completed as opposed to waiting for the next class session because the lack of resources have caused time to run out.
Having more scientific hot plates will allow my students quicker access to supply heated materials for experiments they perform.
More students will be able to complete labs the day that they are assigned instead of having to finish on consecutive days. Students who are able to complete the experiment in one day have more reliable data than those who must pause the experiment until the next day.
It also allows me as a teacher to choose more inquiry based activities that can be performed requiring the use of heat. Students have been completing more experiments that don't require heating as opposed to those that do not. Hot plates enhance the students ability to explore all aspects of the biological sciences.
