Help me give my students frog dissections and healthy snacks for hard work.

Mrs. Swindell Sylvia Mendez Newcomers School

High Point, NC Grades 9-12

My Project

What I love about my students is their inquisitiveness and excitement for learning and exploring new concepts daily. For many this is their first time learning science. I use the frogs to teach systems of the human body and the levels of cellular organization. The modeling clay gives my students an opportunity to be creative and build images of DNA, phases of mitosis, plasma membrane, animal, and plant cell. The cleaning supplies are used to keep a healthy and safe environment. Snacks are rewards on test days for hard work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
