I came in this year with no chemical supply for my chemistry class. Now, I have a well stocked cabinet with all kinds of chemicals for my students to run experiments on and learn about chemistry through engaging labs. \r\n\r\nStudents have regularly shared that labs are their favorite part of chemistry class and you all made that possible with your donations. We were able to run the electron flame test with different metal chloride chemicals, a lab where they see aluminum react with copper chloride, and many other labs to come. \r\n\r\nLastly, the thermometers were great for them to track changes in temperature as they learn about endo and exothermic reactions! \r\n\r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1757250906059,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-chemical/9638784/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Chemical!","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.

They learned about the meniscus in a graduated cylinder so they will be able to use this skill after this class. \r\n\r\nAs for the teacher side of things, the drying rack has been invaluable when it comes to cleaning up after lab and ensure my glassware stays good for years to come. Students have also been able to support in the clean up and using the drying rack as well. \r\n\r\nLastly, the small and large solution bottles have been great to ensure proper storage of highly concentrated solutions needed for labs and storing waste created in labs so that I can properly dispose of them. \r\n\r\nI cannot express enough gratitude for your support and generosity.

All the materials provided set me up to be ready when the first day of school came (which happened so quickly) and for students to have materials they needed starting from day 1 (binders, dividers, paper) and everyday moving forward. \r\n\r\nDuring the first week, students explored how to make a model of a mystery box (courtesy of San Francisco State University) and connecting how scientists have to use the information they have to make models (such as the atom). I was able to utilize the food coloring provided to do this activity. \r\n\r\nWe also conducted a two labs in the first few weeks. The first one was about learning about chemical reactions so they ran the elephant toothpaste reaction with the soap, yeast, and hydrogen peroxide. This was our very first lab and it was only possible due to your donations to provide us with the necessary materials for students to get excited and start asking questions about why that happened. Our second lab was in our second unit, about the atom and is very well known in the chemistry community, the electron flame test. Students used the popsicle sticks to test different chemicals in the flame and watch the color change. Student really enjoyed this lab and still talk about it to this day! \r\n\r\nI could go on and on about the impacts of this project in our classroom.
