This week, students used the materials to design and bedazzle their own lab goggles, transforming standard safety equipment into personalized tools they are excited to wear. What started as a lab safety lesson quickly became a moment of pride and engagement, students carefully planned designs, discussed safety constraints, and talked about why protective equipment matters in real scientific work. It was incredibly meaningful to see students treating their goggles not as an obligation, but as something uniquely theirs.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, the reaction was instant excitement. There were smiles, gasps, and lots of \"Can we really use these?\" moments. Even students who are usually hesitant to participate jumped in, sharing ideas and helping classmates. The activity sparked conversations about creativity in science, attention to detail, and responsibility, reinforcing that science is not just about content—it's about mindset and care. Several students even commented that they felt more like \"real scientists\" because they were trusted to design and use professional safety gear.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using their customized goggles throughout upcoming labs and investigations, reinforcing consistent safety habits while conducting hands-on experiments. These goggles will be worn during chemistry reactions, physical science demonstrations, and inquiry-based labs, serving as a daily reminder of both safety and belonging in our classroom community. Because of your support, students are more engaged, more confident, and more invested in their learning—and that impact will last far beyond this one project. Thank you for helping make science meaningful, memorable, and accessible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1763666410729,"projectUrl":"project/protecting-young-scientists-one-goggles/9899936/","projectTitle":"Protecting Young Scientists, One Goggles Set at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Szentmiklosi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5374549_orig.png?crop=462,462,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659735666657","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5374549"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65749","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1940,"numTeachers":127,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.6,"schoolId":65749,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Winter Springs High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Winter Springs High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/seminole-county-public-schools/winter-springs-high-school/65749"}
