FEATURED STORY:

Science Lab Supplies for Tanya Gunter

  Teacher Tanya Gunter says " At Caldwell High School, we strive to provide a high-quality education that prepares our students for the challenges of the future. However, as a Title 1 school, we face significant financial constraints, especially after the recent levy did not pass. Our students are passionate about science, but we lack the essential supplies to fully engage them in hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences.

We are seeking funding from the Idaho Lottery Classroom Wish List to purchase critical science lab supplies that will enable our students to connect their classroom learning to real-world problems.

Project Goals:

Engage Students in Active Learning: Provide students with the tools they need to conduct experiments to engage in hands-on learning.

Enhance Understanding of Scientific Concepts: Use lab kits and equipment to deepen students' comprehension of chemistry and biology.

Prepare Students for Future Careers: Equip students with practical skills and knowledge that are essential for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Requested Supplies:

30 Scientific Calculators: Essential for performing chemistry and math calculations.

5 Hot Plates: Necessary for conducting experiments that require heating.

2 Scales: Used for measuring chemicals and other materials accurately.

Chemistry Lab Kits: Include materials for a variety of chemistry experiments.

Biology Lab Kits: Provide tools for studying biological processes and organisms.

Chemistry Oven: heating up variety of chemicals for water extraction

Digital thermometers: taking accurate initial and final temperatures during chemical reactions

Calorimeter kits; to track the specific heat capacity of various metals

Metals: to test density and specific hear capacity of metals

Owl pellets and worms: understand the cycle of food webs

These supplies will transform our science program, allowing students to actively participate in experiments and understand scientific concepts through practical application. By engaging with real-world problems, students will develop critical thinking skills, increase their interest in STEM fields, and be better prepared for college and career opportunities.

Your support will make a significant difference in the lives of our students. With these essential science supplies, we can provide a more engaging, effective, and inspiring education. Thank you for considering our request to enhance the science learning experience at Caldwell High School."
