In Search of Money to Buy my Students Brains!


I am back in the classroom after 5 years in Ed Tech Admin. Back in the good old USA after nearly 15 years of the past 20 abroad. Super excited to be teaching the new STEM Gateway Medical Detectives program from Project Lead the Way at Getty's Middle School.

It is really awesome working with 6th and 8th graders as we explore Forensic Science, BioMedical activities, and Crime Scene Investigation. The kids are getting antsy and over excited about their upcoming Sheep Brain dissection. How cool is that? How many 6th and 8th graders get to go to school and dissect a sheep brain? All 298 of them hopefully will. That is if I can find enough funding to purchase the brains.

If you have a spare $5, $10, $15 or more dollars and you would like to donate it to a great authentic hands-on CSI classroom activity, we would love your support. I have set up a Go Fund Me - Buying Brains campaign. Parents and family have started donating so we are heading in the positive direction. Hoping to see a little more support and donations.

I will be posting pictures in a few weeks of the dissection activity. But for now, here are some cool shots from training days.
