This resulted in a shift from passive to active learning. Hence, better understanding of Chemistry principles and concepts.This also leads to better retention and comprehension.\r\nOne of the most remarkable impacts was the increase in student curiosity and enthusiasm. Many students who previously found Chemistry as challenging and uninteresting became more engaged. By handing equipment and conducting experiments, they developed their critical thinking and problem solving skills.\r\nThe project also helped students collaborate with each other, encouraging teamwork and communication.","fullyFundedDate":1734539076057,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-experiential-learning-through/8967809/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Experiential Learning Through Laboratory Materials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Budomo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9848100_orig.png?crop=537,537,x16,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742340364501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9848100"},{"teacherId":5277440,"projectId":5637259,"letterContent":"This project was able to bring girls together to discuss the impact of Social Emotional Learning, some of the challenges of being a teen, as well as a safe space to talk.
