These small structures became the centerpiece of a powerful learning experience, allowing students to safely observe burn patterns, analyze fire behavior, and apply real investigative techniques in a controlled environment.\r\n\r\nThe impact went far beyond the supplies themselves. Several of them have decided to pursue a career in firefighting and arson investigation. Your donation created an opportunity for students to think like scientists, engineers, and investigators. They collaborated, problem‑solved, and engaged deeply with the science of fire dynamics in a way that simply isn't possible through textbooks alone. Many students expressed how \"real\" the experience felt and how it sparked new interest in forensic science and related careers.","fullyFundedDate":1756548171013,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-future-forensic-scientists-wi/9594837/","projectTitle":"Empowering Future Forensic Scientists with Hands-On Lab Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kincaid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9822552"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82797","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1806,"numTeachers":72,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":43,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":39.1,"schoolId":82797,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Farmington High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Farmington High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/farmington-municipal-school-district-5/farmington-high-school/82797"}
