Because of your support, my students are applying their classroom knowledge to understand the health of our local ecosystem.\r\n\r\nOver the past few weeks, several small groups of students have already put these kits to work. They've successfully gathered preliminary data on our local waterways, establishing a baseline for our research. This initial \"snapshot\" of the water quality is vital; it has set the stage for the entire class to participate this semester.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, every student in AP environmental science will use these kits to monitor how the water chemistry shifts over time. By comparing their new findings against the preliminary data, students will be able to:\r\n\r\nTrack seasonal changes in pH, nitrogen, and dissolved oxygen levels.\r\n\r\nAnalyze the impact of urban runoff and local weather patterns.\r\n\r\nDevelop critical thinking skills by interpreting real-world data sets.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe legacy of your gift extends far beyond this semester. These durable kits will be used by future classes in an ongoing collaboration with the Friends of the Danville Creek. This partnership allows our students to contribute meaningful data to a local conservation group, fostering a sense of civic responsibility and a deeper understanding of our community's natural resources.\r\n\r\nYour investment has provided my students with the professional tools they need to see themselves as scientists. I am so grateful for your commitment to hands-on learning and environmental stewardship.","fullyFundedDate":1757739476430,"projectUrl":"project/water-test-kits-for-ap-environmental-sci/9698121/","projectTitle":"Water Test Kits for AP Environmental Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Henderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/224472"},{"teacherId":6042235,"projectId":8903713,"letterContent":"With the massive buzz surrounding true crime podcasts, related books are currently all the rage. This genre is a game-changer for students who are thrill-seekers but aren't captivated by \"fake\" books (their words, not mine!). For many reluctant readers, true crime is the key to unlocking a love for books.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, this collection supports our extensive forensic science program.

With your contribution, we were able to create a financial literacy section in the library, giving our students access to books that support their journey toward financial freedom. We want our students to have as much knowledge as possible about budgeting and investing so they don't find themselves behind—like so many people do today.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your help. We're excited to share that the books have already been checked out numerous times.

Being able to have crafts in the library enables more students to enjoy the library. \r\n\r\nOur special day class students especially enjoy the crafts and puzzles that the makerspace allows.

These tools have already become indispensable across our science curriculum, making abstract concepts tangible and boosting the rigor of our lab activities.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the balances, our students have used them for lab activities 85 times across multiple classes!\r\n\r\nKey Activities & Learning:\r\n\r\nChemistry students immediately put the balances to work, accurately measuring the mass of different substances to create complex density columns. This hands-on experience has been crucial for developing a practical understanding of mass, volume, and density relationships.\r\n\r\nAP Environmental Science (APES) students utilized the precision of the balances to conduct a critical environmental experiment: accurately weighing soil samples both before and after saturating to calculate water holding capacity. This lab gave them quantitative, real-world data on soil health and resource management.\r\n\r\nThese digital balances are not just pieces of equipment; they are essential tools that transform our classroom into a true laboratory. The precision they offer allows our students to collect reliable data, empowering them to think and analyze like real scientists.\r\n\r\nWe are excited for the continued use of these balances in every future lab, ensuring all our students can deepen their understanding of the world around them through accurate, engaging experimentation.\r\n\r\nThank you again for empowering our students to pursue deeper scientific inquiry!","fullyFundedDate":1755368692222,"projectUrl":"project/digital-balances-for-hands-on-chemistry/9543442/","projectTitle":"Digital Balances for Hands-On Chemistry","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Henderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/224472"},{"teacherId":9704721,"projectId":8699346,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for allowing us to bring materials and supplies that support our computer science students and unplugged activities that reach back to our big ideas of computer science.\r\n\r\nSome of the materials allowed students to build if-else if - else types statements of various types and plot out the path. Even highlighter pens help distinguish parts of code on paper from one another such as variables, methods and constructors in addition to lists and loops and functions. \r\n\r\nThe teacher was able to build more relationships with students by walking out paths and got to see students interact, have fun, and get out of their desks. \r\n\r\nWithout your support we have very little materials; everything is grant-based or donated, otherwise it comes from the teacher.
