Our students thrive when they can touch, manipulate, and explore science in action, rather than only reading about it or watching simulations.\r\n\r\nWith the support of this project, I am able to use modern, technology-enhanced resources to design investigations that align with state standards (IPC and Physics TEKS), incorporate data-collection tools, and make labs engaging and accessible to all learners, including students reading below grade level.\r\n\r\nA favorite classroom moment came during a recent lab where students made ice cream using our Food Safe Lab Station. Their excitement and curiosity were contagious—they carefully measured ingredients, observed chemical reactions, and reflected on how temperature and mixing affected the process. For many students, this was the first time they experienced science in a way that was hands-on, fun, and connected to real life.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I am excited to continue growing my professional skills by exploring the Vernier Professional Development Lab Manual and materials, which will allow me to expand our lab offerings with safe, real-world experiments in Integrated Physics and Chemistry and Physical Science. By investing in this resource, donors are not only supporting my professional growth but also ensuring that my students receive the best possible science experience, where they actively do science, develop critical thinking skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.","fullyFundedDate":1758367138716,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-science-learning-with-modern/9362421/","projectTitle":"Empowering Science Learning with Modern Vernier Labs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Joyce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9079160_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689168918597","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9079160"},{"teacherId":9079160,"projectId":9277458,"letterContent":"With the new resources from this project, my students are exploring chemical reactions and phase changes through our Food Safe Lab Station. For example, they recently conducted an experiment observing caramelization in sugar and emulsification in salad dressings. They used measuring cups, timers, and other food-safe tools to record data and analyze results, connecting scientific concepts like energy transfer and molecular interactions directly to real-world cooking processes.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe students were excited and curious—many immediately asked how they could start experimenting. They were particularly drawn to the measuring tools and the ingredients, excited by the idea that they could safely test and observe chemical reactions themselves. The hands-on nature of the materials helped spark engagement and fostered lively discussions about the science behind everyday cooking.\r\n\r\n\r\nNext, students will choose a specific chemical reaction or phase change to focus on and design their own mini demonstrations. They will present their findings using either a physical model, digital presentation, or interactive demonstration, allowing them to apply their understanding creatively. Throughout the process, they will keep reflective journals documenting observations, successes, challenges, and personal growth. This next step encourages deeper inquiry, critical thinking, and collaboration, preparing them to connect culinary science concepts to real-world applications.

Because I move between multiple classrooms and attend frequent meetings, having these tools on hand keeps me organized and ensures I can provide immediate, practical support rather than waiting until later.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been clear in the way teachers are able to implement strategies more quickly. For example, during a planning meeting, I can scan and adapt a resource on the spot, or demonstrate on the tablet how to adjust a lesson to meet a student's needs. Teachers are excited by how quickly we can move from idea to implementation, and students benefit from having the right supports available in real time.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting outcomes has been how these tools make collaboration smoother. Teachers who may have felt overwhelmed by creating accommodations on their own now have ready-to-use, personalized materials, and they see their students respond positively. Having everything I need on the go has allowed me to bridge the gap between planning, meetings, and classroom practice in a way that truly empowers both teachers and students.","fullyFundedDate":1749652912868,"projectUrl":"project/creating-and-connecting-across-classroom/9336895/","projectTitle":"Creating and Connecting Across Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gillespie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10028910"},{"teacherId":5166098,"projectId":9624026,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our robotics team!
