We just completed our exercise lab where we measure vital signs and carbon dioxide levels before and after exercising. Every student wanted to use the blood pressure cuffs and pulse oximeters. They were amazed that they were using the same medical equipment that they use in real doctors offices. They loved using the stethoscopes and listening to their heart beat. \r\n\r\nMy students got the chance to participate in real world experiences. Many wanted to know what careers in the future they could learn about to work in doctors offices. It was great to see their enthusiasm when thinking about what potential careers and their futures.\r\n\r\nI love being able to have my students complete lab experiments during class. It increases their engagement and participation. They are having fun in class and are excited about learning. It was experiences like these that I had when in middle and high school that led me to study biology in college and want to work in a biotech company. I am so appreciative that your generosity is helping me give my students these opportunities.","fullyFundedDate":1750771522171,"projectUrl":"project/its-vital-teaching-students-to-be-medi/9335333/","projectTitle":"It's Vital: Teaching Students To Be Medical Detectives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Camire","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9560371"},{"teacherId":2964537,"projectId":9085991,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Because of your generosity, my students now have access to vibrant Crayola colored pencils, markers, and an essential toner cartridge for our classroom printer.\r\n\r\nThese supplies are making a tremendous impact in how students approach and engage with math. Students are now using colored pencils and markers to color-code their work, visually show variable replacement when solving equations, and create visually organized solutions that help them better understand complex concepts. They're also using these tools to present math projects with clarity and creativity, which has increased both their confidence and ownership of their work.\r\n\r\nThe toner cartridge has helped us keep our classroom printing station up and running—something many students rely on, especially if they don't have access to a printer at home. It supports everything from guided notes and graphic organizers to student-created packets and multi-page projects across all subjects.\r\n\r\nYour support has made our classroom more engaging, inclusive, and student-centered.

With the Frito-Lay Variety Pack, Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, Welch's Fruit Snacks, and Madisi pencils you provided, our 30-40 7th and 8th graders dive into learning with renewed energy. One memorable moment was when we used the snacks to fuel a group project designing experiments to test local water quality. The students' faces lit up as they munched on granola bars, eagerly brainstorming hypotheses and sketching plans with their new pencils, their excitement for science palpable.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the room erupted in cheers—students couldn't believe the colorful array of snacks! They immediately grabbed their favorites, with one student exclaiming, \"Ms. Mus, this feels like a science party!\" The pencils were a hit too, as they scribbled notes and diagrams without worrying about broken leads. Your generosity has fostered a warm, collaborative atmosphere, making tutoring a highlight of their week. Next, we're launching a project to explore ecosystems, where students will use their pencils to document field observations and share snacks while analyzing data, building teamwork and curiosity for science.\r\n\r\nThank you for making these moments possible!","fullyFundedDate":1679364535964,"projectUrl":"project/after-school-science-tutoring-snacks/7217814/","projectTitle":"After School Science Tutoring Snacks!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2964537_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1490062832387","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/molly-mus"},{"teacherId":402005,"projectId":9421850,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom!

Since it's laminated, we'll be able to use it with many classes this year and in the future. Later on, the compasses will come out as we dive into circles and geometric constructions.

For the first time, every group had access to their own complete set of materials, which meant students could work hands-on instead of waiting to share supplies. One of the most exciting projects was testing for the presence of proteins, starches, and sugars in different food samples. Students loved seeing the color changes in their test tubes and connecting those results to what they've learned about nutrition and molecular biology.\r\n\r\nWhen they first saw the lab kits, the class erupted with excitement. Several students said, \"This feels like a real science lab!\" and many commented that it made them feel like professional scientists instead of just learners reading from a textbook. The moment they held the equipment and could run their own tests, their engagement skyrocketed.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for my students will be using these lab kits for more complex experiments as we move into our units on enzymes and cellular respiration. Having complete lab kits allows us to design and carry out investigations that mirror real-world science, encouraging critical thinking and teamwork.
