Thanks to your generosity, students are now using the new materials across Biology classes, PLTW Biomedical Science and Human Body Systems lessons, and Science Olympiad practices. One of the first activities we completed with the new resources was a hands-on lab where students analyzed biological structures and systems using real tools instead of just diagrams. The ability to actively investigate, measure, and model scientific concepts has transformed how students engage with the material.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new supplies, their excitement was immediate. Many students were eager to begin working with the equipment and asked thoughtful questions about how the materials are used in real biomedical and scientific settings. Several students shared that they felt like \"real scientists\" for the first time, especially during Science Olympiad practice sessions where they could apply classroom knowledge to competitive problem-solving tasks.\r\n\r\nThese materials will continue to support our learning throughout the year. Students are currently using them to deepen their understanding of body systems, biological processes, and data analysis, while also preparing for upcoming Science Olympiad events. Your support has made it possible for students to explore science in a meaningful, hands-on way and build confidence in their STEM skills. Thank you for investing in their curiosity and future success.","fullyFundedDate":1700265046560,"projectUrl":"project/unleashing-curiosity-transforming-scie/8021035/","projectTitle":"\"Unleashing Curiosity: Transforming Science Education in Our Classroom\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ozturk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9363807"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98560","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":872,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":25,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.9,"schoolId":98560,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Coral Academy of Science - Sandy Ridge on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Coral Academy of Science - Sandy Ridge","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/coral-academy-of-science-upper-campus/98560"}
