My Project

Currently our biology and chemistry students are in need of lab equipment to conduct several projects and reduce group sizes. Often we have to make larger groups because we must share equipment. Extra balances, conductivity testers, heat lamps and hot plates would allow us to reduce lab group size, and can be used for multiple labs year after year in my courses.

Labs are a wonderful way to give students a hands on look at the concepts covered in science.

We are looking to provide students with some of the tools and laboratory equipment needed for several labs in Biology and Chemistry throughout the year.

We would like to utilize more hands on tools for our English Language Learners to help them with the concepts in Chemistry. Model kits such as the "Snatoms" magnetic kits will benefit all learners in helping them to visualize concepts such as bonding and molecular structure.
