We were able to use the balances when we conducted a calorimetry experiment where we measured different amounts of Calcium and recorded the temperature change. Students are now working on graphing those results and analyzing the data in Claim-Evidence-Reasoning lab reports. My students were so excited to see the scales, and no longer have to share four scales among the entire class. With this donation, we were able to spend a lot more time conducting the experiment and learning instead of waiting for a scale to use or unsuccessfully trying to fix it. Next year, I will get an entire new group of students, and I am excited to have a fully working complement of scales. We truly use them in every unit, whether it is measuring out sodium bicarbonate for a stoichiometry experiment or measuring the mass of pennies to learn about isotypes, these electric scales will help my students learn from years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1778256992478,"projectUrl":"project/can-you-help-us-measure-up/10215465/","projectTitle":"Can You Help Us Measure Up?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kuna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10484698"},{"teacherId":584233,"projectId":10129523,"letterContent":"My students rely on classroom supplies, such as calculators.
