My students have been so excited about having computers just to be used in science class since the moment I told them that I put a DonorsChoose.org project together. One student was so excited that she blurted this out during class, \"We no longer have to put our names on a list to borrow the school computer cart.\" Teaching science involves students having the opportunities to do labs. Unfortunately with limited supplies and time it is often hard to do actual labs. The computers from this project will allow all 165 of my 7th grade science students to do virtual labs in class. Computers are the future and I am so happy that DonorsChoose.org has the ability to help me bring my classroom to the future.\r\n\r\nUpon arrival of the computers, the students could not wait to get the computers out of the boxes and onto their desks. They felt very fortunate to have access to the Internet during class time. We now are able to go to interactive websites to learn, play games, watch videos and do labs when we want to without having to wait for a computer cart to be available. The computers have enhanced the knowledge of my students tremendously. They enjoy coming to class knowing that they will not just be copying notes but learning through student-led discussions and activities that are computer based.\r\n\r\nCurrently, my students are using the computers to explore the digestive system. Before this we used the computers to explore all the other systems of the human body. The computers have allowed the students to delve deeper into the inner workings of their bodies. They have had the ability to do various virtual labs, watch video clips, and just do research to help them get a more complete picture on the topic. \r\n\r\nThe whole process of DonorsChoose.org was easy to use and I look forward to putting together more projects for my classes in the future. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having given us this experience.","fullyFundedDate":1764690404049,"projectUrl":"project/science-requires-technology-for-success/9857788/","projectTitle":"Science requires Technology for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Weisser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2678488_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506502846673","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2678488"},{"teacherId":6789632,"projectId":9741025,"letterContent":"Thank you! Your donation for a color printer has created a profound visual change in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThis is more than a printer—it's an engine for visual learning.

We use color-coding to differentiate mathematical steps and highlight key vocabulary.

This clarity has boosted confidence immensely.\r\n\r\nStudents are thrilled by the power of instant exploration. The ability to quickly convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages allows them to discover number relationships seamlessly.
