Because of your generosity, 110 students at Galion High School now have lab materials that our old, outdated equipment couldn't offer.\r\n\r\nBefore your gift, the labs we could run were limited by aging supplies. Many of our students are hands-on learners, and they get the most out of science when they can do it, not just read about it.\r\n\r\nWith your support, my students have investigated a mock crime scene, working as forensic investigators to collect evidence, make observations with magnifying glasses and prepared forensic slides, and use what they found to draw conclusions. They have also examined human tissue under the microscope, seeing for themselves the cells and structures that make up the organs and systems we study in textbooks. Moving from a diagram on a page to the real thing under the lens has made anatomy click for many of them.\r\n\r\nThe change in engagement has been clear. During our tissue lab, students kept waving their classmates over to look at what they had found, and I heard \"wait, come see this!\" across the room more than once. At the crime scene, groups argued over which clues mattered most and defended their conclusions with evidence, which is exactly the kind of thinking we want in science. Students who once waited for lab days to end now ask what we're investigating next.\r\n\r\nThese materials will serve students for years to come, so your gift will keep expanding what's possible in our classroom well beyond this year.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and showing them that their curiosity matters.","fullyFundedDate":1685459274250,"projectUrl":"project/engagement-in-the-laboratory-science-ma/7227868/","projectTitle":"Engagement in the Laboratory: Science Made Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tanner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8980738_orig.jpg?crop=1206,1205,x0,y213&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748103062622","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/otsroom"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83551","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":390,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":47.1,"schoolId":83551,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Galion High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Galion High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/galion-city-school-district/galion-high-school/83551"}
