My Students

I teach middle school science at a large elementary school in Illinois. My students are from low-income families and are eligible for free lunch. As a teacher and lover of science, I want to instill my love for healthy living, discovery, and inquiry in my students.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any text books related to health, fitness, or current scientific discoveries.

Because of cuts in my school's budget, we are unable to purchase science resources. In addition to budget cuts, we were told by the school board to expect classes of 35 students, further cutting into our meager resources.

Most of my students do not have computers with Internet access at home, or parents to take them to the library to find current articles. I would love to be able to have a learning aid that would allow me to encourage my students to think like scientists and engineers.

My Project

I currently subscribe to Science World magazine. My students argue about who will get to read the magazines first. If you fund my project, my students will not have to argue over who will read the magazine first because they will each have a copy. With the Science World magazine, I will be able to bring thought-provoking, age-appropriate, scientific news stories into my daily lessons. This magazine has captivating nonfiction articles on science as it’s practiced in the real world. My students will also learn about health and well-being, biology, chemistry, physics, Earth science, and engineering concepts behind each thrilling topic covered in the magazine.

Science World gets students excited about science with articles on today’s most remarkable scientific discoveries and technological innovations.

This project is also important because minorities and women are underrepresented in the field of science. By introducing my students to fascinating fields in science, their interest in science will grow. Perhaps one day they will become scientists themselves. My students and I will be greatly appreciative if you are able to fund this project.
