The Right Tools for the Complete Anatomy Experience.
My students need new and updated dissection tools, pans, and goggles to help enhance their dissection experience in advanced human anatomy.

My Students
If you ever want to see the creative capability of a group of students, walk into my room when my anatomy classes are building and labeling life-size skeleton models from house-hold materials! In four short years, my anatomy classes have grown from 90 enrolled students to 175 across five separate classes. Also in those four years, a shortage of funds and materials to provide these students with the necessary learning experience to help them be successful has been evident.
My students are curious, creative, and motivate me to make each lesson better than the last.
Many of my students have dreams of pursuing a medical degree after high school, and I am here to help prepare them in any way I can. My students come from extremely hard-working, middle class families. They count down the days for each dissection, they work diligently to complete each lab assigned, and their excitement is evident each time they are given the opportunity to work with tools they've seen in a medical professional's office. They deserve a world opportunity, and I work my very best to give it to them.
My Project
The new set of dissection tools, pans, and goggles will be used to help ensure all 175 of my anatomy students have the best experience possible. My classes perform 6 dissections a year and often I find myself scrambling to find enough pans and tools to suffice for my 30+ student classes. The budget I am given for the class is used up quickly at the beginning of the year when I purchase the costly dissection specimen, leaving me with no money to purchase new tools and pans. Our current set of tools/pans are outdated and I normally do not have enough tools to let every student participate in their dissection group the way I have envisioned.
Dissections are a critical part of human anatomy, allowing students to observe and explore real-life body systems.
These dissection materials will help better create and maintain a hands-on learning environment for my classes next year and for years to come. I try very hard to provide my students with the most memorable and engaging anatomy experience possible and I truly believe these materials will help accomplish this!
