When my students first saw the materials, they were overjoyed. The goggles made them feel like real scientists ready to tackle fieldwork, and the magnifying glasses became instant favorites as they eagerly began examining rocks, minerals, and soil samples up close. One student excitedly shared, \"I can finally see all the tiny sparkles in this rock!\" The markers have been a wonderful addition, too, helping students create detailed, colorful posters and diagrams to record their observations.\r\n\r\nIn our upcoming projects, these tools will continue to shine. The magnifying glasses and goggles will be critical as we study the characteristics of various rock types, simulate erosion processes, and identify fossils. The markers will help students document their findings and create engaging presentations about their geological discoveries. These resources have transformed our classroom, turning abstract concepts into hands-on, memorable experiences. Thank you for helping inspire the next generation of geologists—you've truly made a difference in their learning journey!","fullyFundedDate":1725201139996,"projectUrl":"project/safety-and-expression-in-science/8531291/","projectTitle":"Safety and Expression in Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. KALAFUS","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9125395"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53554","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1027,"numTeachers":67,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":38.5,"schoolId":53554,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about MLK Junior Early College Middle High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"MLK Junior Early College Middle High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/denver-public-school-district-1/mlk-junior-early-college-mid-high-school/53554"}
