It's because of you, my students have experienced the wonders of Science firsthand , transforming our classroom into a true exploration hub filled with curiosity, discovery and excitement. With the Earth Space Science Viewer Kit, students embarked on a journey through the universe, as they learnt about the Big Bang, planetary orbits and black holes as if they were NASA Scientists. They analyzed the solar system's composition, understood relativity and marveled at the size of cosmos. This hands -on approach made them feel like astronauts floating in space, not just students reading textbooks. Your contribution also enhanced or physical Science Labs allowing to test acids and bases with real lab equipment. They observed chemical reactions and how this impacts their daily life. From different groups like Cosmic Voyagers to The NASA Navigators, my students have embraced Science with renewed passion and ambitions. May now dreams of future careers in astronomy, chemistry, engineering etc. keep thriving. You haven't just provided supplies; you have fueled young adults minds, ignited curiosity and inspired the next generation of scientists. Thanks for believing in my students and making science come alive for them.","fullyFundedDate":1735309137721,"projectUrl":"project/title-i-future-investors-and-scientists/9018066/","projectTitle":"Title I Future Investors and Scientists Need Simple Lab Equipment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kagotho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9882211"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3171","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":263,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":86,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":30.8,"schoolId":3171,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northampton County High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northampton County High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/northampton-county-school-district/northampton-co-high-school-east/3171"}
