Abstract

Chemistry students at South Eugene High School (SEHS), Eugene, Oregon are able to conduct laboratory experiments using computer-based instrumentation as the result of creative fund-raising. Edie Anderson, who teaches first-year and advanced placement chemistry, developed an innovative means of obtaining donations by selling element sites for an illustrated periodic table. With the help of colleagues the idea mushroomed, and a fund-raising committee began making plans how the project would be executed and how funds could be acquired.
