We are using the stopwatches, that you helped to provide, in our science labs weekly. In Chemistry class, we were recently timing chemical reactions using the stopwatches and I shared a couple of photos of our students in action during this lab. \r\n\r\nIn Physical Science class, we recently used the stopwatches to complete labs for speed and acceleration while students were running on the football field. In this lab students recorded running times to calculate velocity and acceleration so that they could later graph and analyze their running performance.\r\n\r\nWe will be using the stopwatches again when students return from the break. Students will be recording times during an energy conversion bottle rocket lab and when studying current. \r\n\r\nThe stopwatches are easy to use and our students love them.

Receiving the new materials from this project has been an awesome addition to the available materials for the cooking labs the students participate in during class. I am always looking for ways I can make improvements the classroom space for the benefit of the students. Due to the amount of use, many of the kitchen materials become worn and are broken, so receiving the new blender was very exciting and will allow me to improve the materials offered within the lab kitchen space.\r\n\r\nI look forward to the opportunity to put the blender to use with the students, such as cooking experiences to make smoothies, as we talk about good nutrition and experiment with various taste profiles. Teaching about good nutrition seems to be such as boring topic for the students until they are able to put the lessons into practice and prepare recipes to try on their own. When learning becomes real and relevant, the experiences are more high quality and the students learn so much more. \r\n\r\nWithout generous donors like you, the addition of new learning materials and equipment would not be possible.

Due to the amount of use, many of the kitchen materials become worn and are broken, so I was very excited to receive the new set of dinnerware and beverageware that allowed me to improve the materials offered within each lab kitchen space.\r\n\r\nThe students have already had the opportunity to work with the new materials in the kitchen spaces.
