| The Foundation for Blood Research - Equipmment Donations | The purpose of the ScienceWorks for ME equipment project is to place needed laboratory equipment and materials in K-12 science classes in Maine. To do this, we solicit used, surplus, and/or outdated items from industry, academic institutions, hospitals, laboratories, doctors' offices - in short, any organization that routinely uses these kinds of items and is willing to donate them to the project. We then distribute these items to Maine schools. This list includes items we have available as well as a list of reading materials that have been donated. We cannot promise to deliver every item requested, due to limited supplies, but we will do our best to satisfy at least part of every request. ScienceWorks for ME also offers a variety of Learning Labs to Maine high school biology classes. |

Some time later (it often takes a month or more before someone enters the bill back into the Where's George system), students log back on to the site to see where their bills have moved and discuss which bills seemed to move more quickly and which seemed to cover the most distance. |
