Thanks to your support, we now have access to petri dishes, lab coats, and other essential materials that have truly enhanced our science lessons.\r\n\r\nOne specific classroom project that comes to mind is when we explored microbiology by growing bacterial cultures. The first time my students saw the petri dishes and put on their lab coats, their eyes lit up! It was like stepping into a real scientific lab, and they couldn't wait to get started. They felt like real scientists, preparing to conduct their own experiments, and it sparked a level of curiosity and excitement I've never seen before. The hands-on nature of the project allowed them to observe the growth of bacteria up close, and they were amazed at how quickly the cultures developed. It was an unforgettable moment.\r\n\r\nAs we continue the unit, the students will analyze the bacteria they've grown, learning about different microorganisms and the factors that influence their growth. We'll also dive deeper into the scientific method, teaching them how to make predictions, gather data, and draw conclusions. I can already see their critical thinking skills developing, and their enthusiasm for science has only grown.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made all of this possible, and I can't wait to share more of our progress with you. Thank you again for helping bring real-world science experiences to my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1730485999295,"projectUrl":"project/future-stem-gen/8889139/","projectTitle":"Future STEM GEN","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9808179_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740454337703","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9808179"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106477","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":305,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":106477,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Prepa TEC Los Angeles Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Prepa TEC Los Angeles Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/prepa-tee-charter-school-la/106477"}
