In the past, I had to rely on drawings, models, or have students cycle individually through my demonstration scope showing them what they should see on theirs, an approach that often left many disengaged. Now, I can project live microscopic images for the whole class to see at once. This allows me to walk students through detailed structures step by step, pointing out important features in real time. It has made my demonstrations more efficient and has ensured that every student has equal access to the same clear and exciting view.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is seeing complex concepts come to life right in front of them. Instead of struggling to imagine what structures look like, they can watch me zoom in on them and then connect those visuals directly to what we have discussed in class. The shared viewing experience also encourages more classwide discussion and questioning, since everyone is seeing the same image at the same moment.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of using this tool has been watching students who normally hang back during labs become more engaged during demonstrations. With the camera projecting images, I've noticed more hands go up and more thoughtful questions are asked. By being able to clearly show the entire class what I want them to focus on, I can keep everyone on the same page and deepen their understanding. Thanks to your support, I am able to make science demonstrations more vivid, collaborative, and meaningful for all of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1758036177815,"projectUrl":"project/make-lab-fun-again/9539897/","projectTitle":"Make Lab Fun Again","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Seeley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10113259"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56658","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1035,"numTeachers":57,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.9,"schoolId":56658,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pittsburg High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pittsburg High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/pittsburg-unified-school-district-250/pittsburg-high-school/56658"}
