During our studies of genetics, students expressed interest in some controversial applications of genetic technologies. I believe their interest in the topic has opened a door for me to introduce them to modern science fiction, specifically the book "Next" by Michael Crichton.

Some of the materials that I would like for the students are test prep materials, problems solving practice books, math games, and math manipulatives to help them solve math problems. These math supplies can make the difference in whether a student graduates or not.

An integral, and fun, part of biology is looking at plant and animal cells and single-celled organisms through microscopes. This enhances and reinforces the student's experiences and allows them to become the scientists.

I am an 11th grade advanced Biology Teacher at City Arts and Technology High school in the Ingleside district of San Francisco. My school is a start up school and does not have many basic lab supplies. In fact I only have one microscope available for all my students to use.

I teach biological and physical sciences to secondary school students in high need, urban areas. The schools I have in which I have taught, and in which I will continue to teach, typically have a student body where over 80% of the students receive free lunch and live in the most disadvantaged and resource poor areas. That reality should NOT dictate the quality and diversity of education each child receives...

It would help if all students had their own, and the same kind of calculator so they can learn together and not have to go over things twice...

By using microscopes, student will be able to actually see the cells from plants and animals, instead of just looking at them in their textbooks.

Once in college, my science students have the opportunity to work with incredible scientific technology. I would like to bring more of this technology into my classroom to further prepare my students and to ease their transition from the high school lab area to the college laboratory.

My proposal is to offer my students a way to learn about the ever-growing field of biotechnology and genetic research by doing hands-on laboratory activities and real-life research.

I want my students to have calculators and scientific equipment so that they can perform at their highest potential when they take the Algebra I and Biology I test.

My project consists of a math center, 3 math game kits, sing and learn math posters and CDs, and a geometry riddle flip book kit, because the students I will be teaching this year all struggle with basic math concepts

Food is a high-interest area, and having props for the students to manipulate will increase their interest in learning new vocabulary. The addition of such props to our classroom will also enable us to carry out more student-centered activities in authentic situations.

I use centers in my classroom and am trying to build a math center that is engaging as well as aligned with the state standards. That is where YOU come in! I would like to build the math center based around "Math in a Nutshell" math kits. These kits sharpen, review, and reinforce critical math skills and concepts with game-based activities. There are six kits in all and they each focus on a different math concept such as Algebra and Measurement. Each kit is aligned with the standards and they are filled with games which will make the review and learning fun for the students.

My solution is to provide hands on, small group instruction for basic everyday math skills. To do this I would like 5 functional math games(ex. Menu Math, Budget Math Game), a clock, time & money picture pocket set, math activity resource book and a set of math picture books. I want to make learning math fun and functional by teaching math concepts within everyday activities. Such as adding a bill and figuring out the appropriate tax. These activities are meaningful.

Math Madness! What fun we will have learning through music and hands on activities. The supplies that I have asked for will help me to reinforce our math skills. The students will be using math sliders that will help them review their adding and subtraction skills. The math posters and CD will be a fun time to learn math through song. I have learned that if you can put the lesson to music children will learn better because they love to sing!

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I need your help to bring home some of the abstract topics that we uncover in high school Biology...

During the 2006-2007 school year my class did dozens of labs ranging from testing the effects of alcohol on fruit flies to genetically modifying bacteria with a jellyfish gene that caused the bacteria to glow green when exposed to UV light. For every lab we did I never had a sink for students to use.

I have several students who are interested in pursuing careers in the medical field after high school, and I have obtained my principal's blessing to teach an AP Biology course next year. The only problem is that there are 12 required labs for AP Biology that I do not have money to purchase the supplies for.

Following the trip the class began a project to study how human health is impacted by nature and genetics. Part of the project involves reading the book "The Demon In The Freezer."

The requested microscope will allow us to extend the course into the process of vertebrate development. Last spring I began to breed zebrafish for the class. We studied the development of the embryo from the first hours of development to hatching. The students could see amazing things like the development of the heart and the first red blood cells being pumped through the arteries.

As the population of the area is exceeding we are in need of additional supplies. Graphing calculators are part of the SC standards in Algebra 1 and Math Tech 1. We try very hard to provide the calculators for all...
