Ms. Bailey from Indianapolis IN is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

On Our Way to Becoming Scientists

My students need safety goggles and clipboards. I want my students to learn about science by actually doing it! These will allow them to protect their eyes during labs and to record their data.

My Students

I teach in an urban school designed for high ability students in grades 2-8. About half of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. I teach science to fourth and fifth graders who love science. They enjoy moving around and doing hands-on investigations.

I strive to nurture their passion and interest in science by providing an environment in which they not only feel like scientists but get to be scientists.

I want to give them chances to perform experiments and learn by doing.

My Project

Safety goggles are imperative for safety while students perform lab activities. I want my students to keep their eyes safe and to practice following lab safety protocols.

Kids learn best by doing; in science, that means doing labs!

Many labs would be unsafe to perform without goggles, and I don't want to limit my scientists' opportunities to learn. The clipboards will be used to record data during labs. They will allow students to move around without needing a desk to write on. They will also be used for non-lab work, as many of my students work better when they are able to sit on the floor.
