Mrs. Head from Heber Springs AR is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Sky (or the School Roof) is the Limit!

My students need a digital camera, a 500GB external hard drive, a battery and a memory stick (4GB).

I teach eighth grade science. We are in a high needs, low income area. We are a public middle school serving grades six through eight.

Each year one of our projects is to build a bottle rocket. The students must document launch data such as fuel, pressure, speed and height. Completing the project includes making a presentation to the class.

By receiving the digital camera and storage accessories, the students can take, download, and store their photos to use in either a digital poster or a PowerPoint presentation.

Your help with this project will allow the students to experience a new area of technology that is not presented in any other coursework.
