Seeing and identifying structures inside the frog helped students make sense of diagrams and vocabulary they had previously only encountered on paper. Concepts like organ systems and structure-function relationships became clearer once students could observe how everything fit together.\r\n\r\nAt first, many students were nervous or unsure about the dissection. With time and guidance, that hesitation turned into focus and curiosity. Students worked carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and talked through what they were seeing with their lab partners. The room was filled with meaningful conversations as students compared observations and corrected misunderstandings in real time.\r\n\r\nThe experience was especially impactful for students who struggle with traditional, text-heavy lessons. Hands-on learning gave them an entry point into the content and helped them feel more confident participating. By the end of the project, students were using correct scientific language, making connections across systems, and showing a deeper understanding of anatomy than they typically demonstrate with worksheets alone.","fullyFundedDate":1761768479793,"projectUrl":"project/dissection-is-absolutely-ribbiting/9810165/","projectTitle":"Dissection Is Absolutely Ribbiting!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fischer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8185529_orig.jpg?crop=1097,1097,x1582,y726&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648670552419","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8185529"},{"teacherId":8185529,"projectId":9809887,"letterContent":"This project helped my students understand animal adaptations in a way that finally clicked for them. Instead of just reading about traits like beak shape or claws, students were able to hold 3D-printed models, compare them, and talk through how those features might help an animal survive. The technology supported learning by making science tangible. Students weren't guessing or memorizing terms—they were using real evidence they could see and touch to explain their thinking.\r\n\r\nWhat students found most exciting was watching their ideas turn into physical objects. When a print finished, they immediately wanted to examine it, pass it around, and argue about whether it would actually work in the wild. Those conversations were thoughtful and student-driven. The models gave them something concrete to point to, which made their explanations clearer and more confident.\r\n\r\nSome of the biggest growth came from students who don't usually see themselves as \"science kids.\" Hands-on learners, students who struggle with reading, and students who are usually quiet became more engaged and willing to participate. Being able to interact with the models gave them an entry point into the content and a reason to speak up. This project didn't just teach adaptations, but rather it helped students feel capable and included in the learning.","fullyFundedDate":1761767292638,"projectUrl":"project/filament-frenzy-for-the-future/9809887/","projectTitle":"Filament Frenzy For The Future","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fischer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8185529_orig.jpg?crop=1097,1097,x1582,y726&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648670552419","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8185529"},{"teacherId":8185529,"projectId":9515669,"letterContent":"Since receiving your generous support, our classroom has been buzzing with creativity and excitement! The 3D printer has opened a whole new world for my students to explore science and engineering in a hands-on way. They aren't just reading about animal adaptations—they are designing and creating tools inspired by real-life survival features, turning abstract concepts into tangible learning. Technology like this allows students to experiment, iterate, and problem-solve in ways that traditional materials simply can't.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for the students is seeing their ideas take physical form. They love watching their digital designs transform layer by layer into real objects they can hold, test, and even improve. Some students who are usually shy or hesitant to speak up have especially warmed to this technology, finding confidence in their designs and pride in their creations. It's incredible to see students who normally struggle with abstract concepts finally connect with the material through 3D printing.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students are creating lasting memories and building critical thinking and creativity skills that will stay with them far beyond our classroom. They are learning the power of imagination combined with technology, that their ideas truly can become reality. Your support has made a meaningful difference, inspiring innovation and curiosity in every student who uses the printer.","fullyFundedDate":1758145120528,"projectUrl":"project/lets-print-like-a-predator/9515669/","projectTitle":"Let's Print Like A Predator!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fischer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8185529_orig.jpg?crop=1097,1097,x1582,y726&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648670552419","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8185529"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_134306","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":null,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":6,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":false,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":134306,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sequoyah Eighth Grade Academy on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Sequoyah Eighth Grade Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/broken-arrow-public-schools/sequoyah-eighth-grade-academy/134306"}
