The Living Lab Project

Help me give my students support to enrich the educational experience of my high school biology students for the school year. Our goal is to foster curiosity, hands-on learning, and deeper scientific understanding through engaging activities and experiments.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Allen's classroom raised $739

My Project

I love that my students are curious, creative, and eager to understand the world around them. They ask thoughtful questions, challenge ideas, and bring a unique energy to every lesson. Their passion for learning inspires me to give them the best educational experience possible.

Hands-on resources like lab kits and microscope slides will allow them to explore biology beyond the textbook—seeing cells, dissecting specimens, and conducting experiments will make abstract concepts real.

Models of the human body and ecosystems will help them visualize complex systems, while interactive tools and simulations will support different learning styles and deepen understanding.
