These guitar stands are a welcome adiditon to our music room for sure. Last year, a guitar fell to the ground a few times and was damaged. Not so this year! The stands sit right next to the guitar amp, and when my students swap in rehearsal, the guitar has a secure location to be held. NO MORE DAMAGED instruments in transitions or swapping out of players.\r\n\r\nThe marching snare case has also been a welcome addition to the classroom. Two of our snare drums had cases, but one did not. To store it, we just had to set it on a shelf in the storage room, which is vulnerable to damage and dust collection, especially over the summer.

Over the years, I've tried many ways to teach these concepts such as drawing, online simulations, etc. \r\n\r\nI wasn't able to use these physical models for my normal classes this year due to timing (they arrived at the end of our unit). However, I did test the models on a few small groups of students. I was impressed at the difference it made in student understanding. They were better able to visualize (and later describe) DNA as a long chain of connected nucleotides. Students could actually see how the RNA polymerase enzyme unzipped and then re-zipped DNA to make the RNA copy. They had a tactile experience with how each tRNA only fit a specific set of nucleotides as it brought a particular amino acid to the ribosome, and how the amino acids attached together to make a polypeptide. \r\n\r\nMy students that tested the models told me that the models were very helpful and they wished they had been able to use them initially. \r\n\r\nI'm looking forward to using these models as the basis for my Central Dogma unit next year in Biology, and as an initial review in AP Biology!","fullyFundedDate":1768411668714,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-manipulatives-for-the-central-d/9917172/","projectTitle":"Hands-on Manipulatives for the Central Dogma of Biology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Matell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4019779_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1477076225100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4019779"},{"teacherId":6829672,"projectId":9791012,"letterContent":"Your generosity is making our concert uniforms look even better.
