The new Light Blox kits were a need as we had very few working in our previous sets. This allowed for students to use them in smaller groups on all of our topics from light wave behavior to lenses to how we see color. The lasers allowed me to demonstrate the light wave behavior with gummy bears while students used small LEDs. They could then test it with the lasers and we tested wave behavior with lasers as well.\r\nThe suncatcher helps students to see white light as all color wavelengths all school year!\r\nThank you for helping waves come to life!","fullyFundedDate":1733186487887,"projectUrl":"project/bright-and-shiny-scientists/8968254/","projectTitle":"Bright and Shiny Scientists","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stalions Science","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6456646_orig.png?crop=360,360,x0,y105&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753025686418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stalionsclass"},{"teacherId":6456646,"projectId":9141968,"letterContent":"Thank you for bringing so much excitement into our science classroom!\r\nThe walkie talkies, Faraday cage, and radio will help for years to come with bridging the gap between radio was and electric fields. The electroscope was a great addition to helping students understand conduction versus induction of charges. That is a tough concept that can best be understood by seeing the leaves move and making those connections to charges.\r\nThe microscope was great for really thinking about visible light and what it includes as well as thinking about how we see. But, I know it will also be put to good use in our chemistry units next year when we look at types of mixtures and classifying matter.\r\nThank you for helping our classroom have exciting supplies that surprise our 8th grade students.","fullyFundedDate":1741905274453,"projectUrl":"project/science-materials-for-em-waves/9141968/","projectTitle":"Science Materials for EM Waves","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stalions Science","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6456646_orig.png?crop=360,360,x0,y105&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753025686418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stalionsclass"},{"teacherId":6456646,"projectId":9194565,"letterContent":"WOW! This project has made a HUGE impact on the 8th graders at WCMS. \r\nThe MakeyMakey is a hit with 8th graders. One student used the MakeyMakey as his presentation for STEM Club and many students were able to use it and gain a new appreciation for how circuits are a part of their daily lives. \r\nOur cow eye dissection will be so much easier by using plates and new dissection scissors. Students will be able to really easily clean up and its much more sanitary than the dissection pads since we are not pinning materials.\r\nThank you for helping our students finish the year strong and bring us items we can use again and again!","fullyFundedDate":1742937808936,"projectUrl":"project/spring-in-the-science-classroom/9194565/","projectTitle":"Spring In The Science Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stalions Science","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6456646_orig.png?crop=360,360,x0,y105&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753025686418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stalionsclass"},{"teacherId":6456646,"projectId":9275694,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support!\r\nThe balloon inflator will save time and squeaky balloons that we use for labs. Blowing up balloons can be chaotic in a middle school classroom, so this will save our breath and our energy for the science and not the balloons. The sheet protectors allow for us to share printed colored images without ruining the pages and reuse for years to come. The dry erase markers help for our dry erase board work for review and practice with physics formulas and more. Our previous numbered wall clock broke, so this one was a great replacement so we have both analog time (again) to go with our digital clock. There are times where analog is required (testing). \r\nThe colored pencils were a replacement for the bubble machine.

Your support has had a huge impact on our classroom instruction. With the new materials, students are diving into hands-on projects, building circuits, and understanding electrical concepts in a fun, interactive way.\r\n\r\nIt's incredible to see their excitement and engagement as they experiment and troubleshoot together. The collaborative spirit in the classroom has really flourished, with students working in teams to solve problems and share ideas. This hands-on approach not only reinforces their understanding of the material but also helps them develop essential skills like critical thinking and teamwork.

When learning about energy transformations, the model arrived. One of my students took the leadership role and worked any free time he had to build the engine and had other students help him. All students who worked to build the model signed it and they are very proud of their work that will benefit all science classes for years to come. The other STEM kit has a student in charge of it as well and has already been a popular choice when working on independent projects when students finish what we are working on in class.\r\nThe UV pen will be put to use soon as our next unit is waves!\r\nThank you for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1731505945452,"projectUrl":"project/physical-science-is-wonder-ful/8930979/","projectTitle":"Physical Science is WONDER-ful","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stalions Science","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6456646_orig.png?crop=360,360,x0,y105&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753025686418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stalionsclass"},{"teacherId":7879001,"projectId":6079006,"letterContent":"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your generous donation towards our sound wave physics materials!
