This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Lustig from Brooklyn, NY is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Science Excitment!

Help me give my students owl pellets and petri dishes so they can complete more lab activities!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lustig's classroom raised $485

This project is fully funded

My Project

My 8th grade students love to do labs, but need the materials and resources to complete them! They come from low income homes and deserve the same access as every other student in the country. The owl pellets will be used to learn about food chains and food webs. Students will be able to determine what owls eat and then create a food chain based on their findings. The petri dishes will be used to study microbes located around the school building. Students will determine what microbes were found in different locations and compare their findings with each other.

Ms. Lustig Intermediate School 381 Grades 6-8
