Several students immediately started sorting colors for organelles, while others flipped through their notebooks, eager to figure out how to accurately sculpt mitochondria or Golgi bodies. One student—who usually hesitates to participate—held up her clay nucleus and said, \"I finally get what this does now!\" That moment alone made this project worth it.\r\nWe've been using the clay to create detailed 3D plant and animal cell models, compare their structures, and present to the class how each organelle contributes to the cell's function. Students have taken real pride in their work, revising their models as they learn more and collaborating to solve design challenges. Thank you again for giving my students the opportunity to learn with their hands, think creatively, and see science come alive. Your support truly made a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1757033659827,"projectUrl":"project/3d-clay-cell-models/9424389/","projectTitle":"3D Clay Cell Models","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. King","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10060162"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46481","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1938,"numTeachers":95,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.1,"schoolId":46481,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North Fort Myers High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North Fort Myers High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/the-school-district-of-lee-county/north-ft-myers-high-school/46481"}
