Our students are curious scientists at heart, ready to dive deeper into chemistry—but we're missing the tools to truly unlock their potential. With more ring stands, students can complete labs in pairs instead of in large groups of 4. This ensures that minds and hands stay active.
Ring stands are essential for safe, stable setups during chemical reactions, filtration, and titration experiments.
They allow students to build and test their own lab setups, giving them ownership of the scientific process.
A spectrophotometer will allow us to measure how much light a substance absorbs, opening up experiments on concentration, chemical identification, and environmental analysis. It brings abstract concepts like the Beer-Lambert Law and solution chemistry to life. We already have a few, but this extra one will prevent lines and ensure that students all have enough time to measure the absorbance of their samples in class.
This isn’t just about lab equipment—it's about equity, opportunity, and empowering students to see science in action.
