These models have made a huge difference in our classroom. Instead of just reading about how wind and solar power work, we got to see and explore them in real life. Being able to build and test the turbines and solar panels helped us truly understand how renewable energy is made and how it can be used to power things.\r\n\r\nWe also learned how these systems interact with each other and with the environment. It was exciting to see how the wind and sun can work together to create energy in different ways. Your donation helped turn science into something we could touch, test, and talk about — which made learning a lot more fun and meaningful. Thank you again for supporting our education and helping us think like real scientists and engineers!","fullyFundedDate":1713953139291,"projectUrl":"project/movement-of-celestial-bodies/8322685/","projectTitle":"Movement Of Celestial Bodies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9516371"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59161","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1343,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":59161,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Galena High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Galena High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/washoe-county-school-district/galena-high-school/59161"}
