Much Needed New Science Labs for Our Classroom

Help me give my students access to a new Science Lab Station in my classroom. Adding these items to our classroom will add richness and experience to our much needed curriculum.

My Project

We are a new Counseling Enriched Classroom Program that just got into a new site. In order to bring our curriculum to life we have created a Biology, Geology, Chemistry and Anatomy Lab for our room.

We recently inherited two old life size model skeletons we are re-articulating and restoring to be useful displays and these much needed stands will take the stigma off of using older damaged items we were frankly happy to get.

Restoring and labeling the anatomy models motivates the kids and they are excited to work on the project. The students each selected working on the different labs and many are excited by the Crystal kits and rock geodes in preparation for further work we are hoping to undertake. Our kids thrive on doing hands on experiments and this will help facilitate this and our endeavors for our students.
