Some wonderful individual donated a large amount of money to our Donors Choose Challenge. Which means that we only have $135 to go! Please please take a few minutes out of your day to donate a few dollars toward Science and Music education in public schools!

If you don't know what Donors Choose is here's the skinny:

DonorsChoose.org is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund.

I mean really! how can you not want to help out this project?!

I teach General Music in the Indianapolis Public Schools district. We are projected to have over three hundred students in the school in grades K-6.

According to the Music standards, I am suppose to teach the science of sound starting in grade 4. However, I do not have any equipment to show the students the physical science of sound.

I want to set up a program for fourth through sixth grade having students work on the scientific method of experimenting with sound. The resources I have requested will give students in all three grades the opportunity for this program. Also, this project would satisfy the Music Standard applying Music to other subjects.

A lot of times I apply Music to Math and Language Arts, but I have not had much opportunity to apply Music to Science because of supplies. You can help bridge that gap with supplying us with these sound kits and a wave model.

My project needs a Wave Model and several SciQuest Sound Demonstration kits. The cost of this proposal is $549, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment.
