My Project

I teach 5th grade science in Virginia to two classes of bright students who love hands-on activities and experiments. Currently I have four worn-out laboratory coats (and one pharmacy jacket) that I launder at home and that the students take turns wearing.

I've heard a child exclaim, "I feel like a real scientist!" when it was their turn to wear a lab coat.

A full set of lab coats would allow me to reach more students and take my science classes to another level; if each child had a coat available for hands-on activities, engagement would be improved with the added bonus of protecting clothes for those messy days.

Please consider contributing to my classroom. The laboratory coats I'm requesting are durable enough to survive student wear-and-tear, frequent laundering, and they will remain in my classroom to be used year after year.

Mrs. Andrews will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 21.
