Help me give my students a memorable experience in science! My students need dissecting tools and dissection pans.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Basso's classroom raised $942
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Please consider donating to my project to give my students the opportunity to experience frog dissection. I am an 8th-grade science teacher at a middle school in Brooklyn, NY. My students are in an advanced-level science course and a majority of them are from low-income households. My thought is that if my students see and feel these organ systems for themselves, they will take more out of this lesson than if I just lectured about it. My hope for this opportunity is to instill a love and passion for science and possibly inspire them to pursue a career in medicine.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
