My Project
Help me give my students a DNA electrophoresis set so they can experience authentic, hands-on biology that sparks real excitement for learning and discovery!
Our science classroom pulses with curiosity—every student eager to roll up their sleeves and see how the world works at the molecular level.
But some of the most powerful lessons in biology are just out of reach without the right tools. A DNA electrophoresis set is the key that would open up a whole new universe of hands-on experiments, letting students see the patterns of life itself and connect what they learn to the real world. With your help, we can transform science from something they read about into something they witness, create, and remember for years to come.
Every student deserves the chance to feel like a true scientist. Many of my kids are tackling challenges both in and outside of the classroom, and the opportunity to perform real DNA investigations—just like professionals in a research lab—can be life-changing. Your gift doesn’t just give us equipment; it gives my students a sense of belonging in the world of science, showing them they’re seen, valued, and capable of greatness. Thank you for believing in our classroom and in every future scientist who walks through our door.
