From observing human cheek cells and plant cells to measuring carbon dioxide production and exploring the connection between cellular respiration and CO₂. These labs require many materials, and thanks to you, we have everything from disinfectant wipes for lab benches to soap for cleaning beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, and test tubes.\r\nStudents have also appreciated your kindness in meeting personal needs, whether it's a snack to get through the day or hygiene products for those unexpected situations.\r\n\r\nWe truly cannot thank you enough for your generosity. Not a day goes by that I don't look around my classroom and feel reminded that all this learning is possible because of your gift.","fullyFundedDate":1755111557952,"projectUrl":"project/igniting-biology-curiosity-one-supply-a/9557155/","projectTitle":"Igniting Biology Curiosity, One Supply at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jacobs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10162100_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754742985907","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10162100"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71056","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1084,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 9","studentTeacherRatio":"20.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":71056,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Malow Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Malow Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/utica-community-school-district/malow-junior-high-school/71056"}
