Equipping The
Science Labs in Our Schools
This project is great in it's scope. Our mission
is to create one science lab at both Palos East
and Palos West schools for grade 4 and 5 fully
equipped with counter space and room for
student's projects. Two fully equipped 6th grade
science labs and one applied technology lab at
Palos South school for 6th, 7th and 8th graders.
In the applied
technology lab, there will be hands-on,
interactive, multimedia activities that bring
advanced concepts to life in technology, math,
science, written communication and language
arts. These activities use video, text, graphics
and animations while students comprehension is
assessed and recorded.
Completion Target
Date is August 2006 and estimated amount to be raised
is $500,000.
