As the DonorsChoose fundraiser rolls along, I'm making an effort to highlight a few worthwhile proposals from my challenge entry, in case the lack of specificity is keeping people from donating. This time out, that's the "Sizzling Science" proposal, from Broward County, FL. This description echoes sentiments that are frequently expressed here and elsewhere in blogdom:
What does a scientist look like? My students need to know that a scientist looks just like them. In fact, they are scientists. They can think like a scientist, hypothesize like a scientist, experiment like a scientist and then report their work to the scientific community using presentation boards.
The proposal seeks funding to buy presentation boards for a science fair, so the students can not only do science themselves, but share it with the rest of the school.
If you don't like that one, there are lots of other worthy proposals on my challenge entry. Go there, take a look, and think about throwing them a few bucks.
