For my AICE Marine Science and Biology students, the added invertebrates provided new opportunities to observe real-world examples of animal diversity, adaptations, and ecological roles that we normally only discuss in theory. Students have been able to connect course concepts—such as symbiosis, nutrient cycling, and ecological niches—directly to living organisms in the classroom.\r\n\r\nOn a practical level, the invertebrates have also improved the overall balance of the tanks. The second tank, in particular, has benefitted from enhanced filtration due to the natural cleaning and scavenging behaviors of the new organisms. This has given students the chance to see how living systems can regulate themselves when biodiversity increases, reinforcing lessons about ecosystem stability and interdependence.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for this donation. Your support has not only enriched our tanks but also provided students with hands-on, memorable experiences that bring science to life in ways textbooks alone cannot.","fullyFundedDate":1746786435571,"projectUrl":"project/under-the-sea-help-enhance-our-classroo/9262037/","projectTitle":"Under the Sea: Help Enhance our Classroom Saltwater Aquarium","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brodie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9570767_orig.png?crop=314,314,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733456065563","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9570767"},{"teacherId":10020841,"projectId":9325597,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom was buzzing with energy — and not just from the sun! Through the Cooking Up Knowledge project, my students built their own solar ovens and put them to the ultimate test: who could make the best s'more using nothing but the power of renewable energy.\r\n\r\nOnce the materials arrived, teams dove into designing and constructing ovens with reflective panels, insulation, and creative touches to capture as much heat as possible. The atmosphere quickly became both scientific and spirited — students took notes on angles, tested different coverings, and proudly announced every degree of temperature gain.\r\n\r\nWhen it came time to cook, the friendly competition kicked in. As marshmallows softened and chocolate melted, students hovered over their creations, eager to see whose design would heat fastest. Laughter and cheers filled the air as each team presented their s'mores for tasting. It was hands-on learning at its sweetest.\r\n\r\nBeyond the fun, this project deepened their understanding of solar energy, sustainability, and real-world engineering. They left not only with full stomachs, but also with the confidence that they could design, test, and improve something using scientific thinking.\r\n\r\nYour generosity made this joyful, memorable learning experience possible. Thank you for giving my students the chance to explore renewable energy in such a delicious and engaging way.","fullyFundedDate":1746570572807,"projectUrl":"project/cooking-up-knowledge-building-solar-ove/9325597/","projectTitle":"Cooking Up Knowledge: Building Solar Ovens with Renewable Energy!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Corson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10020841_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746543582018","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10020841"},{"teacherId":10048982,"projectId":9392908,"letterContent":"The materials have completely transformed how my 10th grade reading students engage with their learning.

I currently teach Marine Science and Biology at an inland Florida high school, and there are some students that have never seen saltwater fish up close and personal. By bringing this tank to life in our classroom, it has really improved engagement and brought some of the concepts we're learning about full circle for the students to see.\r\n\r\nFor my Biology students, the fish arrived towards the end of our evolution unit, and it ended up being a visual representation of \"survival of the fittest\" as the fish figured out their hierarchy within the tank.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous gift to help teach the adults of tomorrow!","fullyFundedDate":1733251899341,"projectUrl":"project/help-bring-the-ocean-to-my-marine-scienc/8875032/","projectTitle":"Help Bring the Ocean to My Marine Science Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brodie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9570767_orig.png?crop=314,314,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733456065563","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9570767"},{"teacherId":9570767,"projectId":8458304,"letterContent":"Wow! First of all, thank you so much! As a first year teacher, I was very intimated by the thought of trying to figure out how to provide my students with all of the resources they would need in order to succeed in Biology and Marine Science, but your generous gift really eased my worries! My classroom was lacking in some of the basic organization tools and lab supplies, and this project really got me started on the right foot.\r\n\r\nThe organization tools, such as the tiered cart, letter organizer, and frames for my file cabinet have helped my classroom move so smoothly! The tiered cart allows me to sort lab equipment out for each group, which helps me easily see that each group has exactly what they have for the activity and to help hold my students accountable for their equipment. I have definitely noticed an increase in responsibility in them as the year as progressed. The letter organizer helps me organize all of my prints for the week so that I can make sure that I have everything ready for my students, and they don't have to wait on my to find what I need for the day. My file cabinet originally had damaged hanging file folder frames, which left it unusable; receiving new ones has definitely improved my organization of documents for each class.\r\n\r\nThe lab supplies included in this project have also helped improve student understanding so much! For my biology classes, the water molecule sets really helped the water properties click. Students were able to physically see and even feel the attractive forces of each atom as the \"hydrogen bonds\" formed, and how strong they are when they tried to pull them apart which creates surface tension. My marine science class has also increased understanding of sampling techniques with the use of the quadrats we received! These high quality quadrats will certainly stand the test of time and be able to be used by many students in the future. We were able to make a survey area in our courtyard, and survey different objects to mimic how a survey could be done underwater.\r\n\r\nAgain, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! It is because of people like you that teachers like me can provide the education we dream of and that our students deserve.","fullyFundedDate":1726501201031,"projectUrl":"project/lets-dive-in-to-science/8458304/","projectTitle":"Let's Dive in to Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brodie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9570767_orig.png?crop=314,314,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733456065563","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9570767"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61165","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1904,"numTeachers":76,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.9,"schoolId":61165,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Belleview High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Belleview High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/marion-county-public-schools/belleview-high-school/61165"}
