Microphones for Science Videos and Podcasts
These high-quality microphones will give middle school science students the opportunity to engage in topics such as climate change, genetics, and EM wave technology. Students will use the new technology to create high quality videos that can then be used as educational resources by their peers.
Life Science Microscope Slides
These materials give middle and high school students opportunities to discover various microscopic organisms and cells to help them understand cell structure and function. Students have hands-on learning opportunities that increase engagement in their life science courses.
Trout in the Classroom Program
This program will encourage students to make a connection with their environment and foster engagement with hands-on, community based learning. High school students will be responsible for raising trout from eggs to young adults, before releasing them into Seely’s Pond within the Watchung Reservation.
State-of-the-Art Wi-Fi Microscope Cameras
With a Wi-Fi capable digital microscope, students solidify their traditional microscope skills while simultaneously viewing highly magnified images and videos directly on their iPad. These microscopes will give the high school biology students the added level of sophistication to work collaboratively and to critically analyze specimens.
Skeleton Models
This building set of various anatomical skeletons will allow students at the high school to use hands-on experience to identify patterns, cause and effect relations, body systems, gather data, draw conclusions, and construct explanations regarding the evolution and variations within species.
