Your gift brings hands‑on, accessible STEM resources to our rural classroom where such materials are often limited — and it is already transforming how our students learn.\r\n\r\nBenefits to students\r\n\r\nConcrete understanding of meiosis: ChromoSocks and manipulatives let students model chromosome pairing, crossing over, and gamete formation instead of only reading about them.\r\n\r\nImproved scientific reasoning: Students collect observations, make predictions, and explain outcomes using evidence — skills that transfer across science and life.\r\n\r\nIncreased engagement and confidence: Tactile activities and collaborative labs boost motivation, participation, and persistence, especially for learners who struggle with abstract concepts.\r\n\r\nEquity in STEM access: These materials give students in our rural community the same experiential learning opportunities found in better‑resourced schools, supporting future interest in STEM pathways.\r\n\r\nAlignment with standards: Lab activities reinforce NGSS/MS‑level practices such as developing and using models and constructing explanations from evidence.\r\n\r\nYour support will reach dozens of students each year, helping them build foundational biology knowledge, strengthen critical thinking, and feel empowered to pursue science.
