The number of tools available for students to collect data in a Chemistry classroom can be overwhelming. When we think of a classic chemistry classroom, we always think of standard equipment: Beakers, Flasks, Bunsen Burners and more. What we don’t think about are the tools that, while they seem simple

Unlocking the inherent power of science in the classroom simply comes down to how effectively a teacher facilitates scientific experimentation. At North Tahoe High School, we have been able to acquire some incredible science tools over the years which allow our students to collect data in a precise, controlled, and

The objective of this grant is to secure funding for reusable flatware and flatware for each classroom at Donner Trail Elementary. We hope to provide each classroom with a plastic reusable plate, cup, spoon, fork, and knife. Additionally, we would like to purchase a kitchen cooking set for teachers to

Each year, students in my classroom participate in our own version of a Toastmaster's Program. I strongly believe that in order to best be engaged in writing, students need a purpose and an audience. In this program, students work on writing pieces throughout the year and pick three (opinion, informational

Sagehen Outdoor Education Program is a collaboration with Tahoe Truckee Unified School District and has been in operation for over thirteen years. This program is the district adopted outdoor education program for all 5th grade TTUSD students at the Sagehen Research Station located on Highway 89, 15 miles north of

This grant is to extend a previously funded grant for Vernier probes and data collection for LabQuests to include more probes for further experiments and probes that are compatible with Chromebooks. With the addition of more Godirect sensors, we have the capability of data collection straight to student Chromebooks as

This grant seeks funding to purchase a 16,000G microcentrifuge for classroom use in biology and AP biology courses at NTHS. A microcentrifuge allows the separation and isolation of various biological samples by on mass from complex samples. A microcentrifuge is a standard part of a modern biology laboratory and allows

As part of our life science expedition, we are learning about heritable traits. We study the history of Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics. As part of our study, we are using Wisconsin Fast Plants to replicate his work with peas. These amazing plants can grow and produce seeds

In Kindergarten Science (K-LS1-1) we use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. The needs of plants for light, soil, water and space to grow is observable. We would like a hands-on experience, an outdoor classroom in addition to the use of media
