$25

Clinometer

These tools help students to measure an angle across a distance. Useful outcomes include estimating a tree's size or measuring the slope of a snowy hillside.

$50

Snow Science Kit

A donation at this level helps us buy one snow science kit. Each kit has the tools to connect students to the science of our Idaho snowpack. We need 10 of these. Kits Include: - Snow Crystal Card has 3 textured grids for examining snow crystals and doubles as an inclinometer. - Magnifier X20 for viewing snow crystals up close. - 100 cm Folding Ruler for documenting a snow pit with precision. - Dial Stem Thermometers to document the snowpack's temperature.

$75

Pair of Snow Shoes

A donation of $75 will buy one pair of snowshoes for our young scientists. Winter is an amazing season in McCall and a great time to explore the natural world. Your gift will give another student solid "footing" to investigate snow science, winter ecology and to enjoy our incredible winter environment.

$100

Densiometer

Gifts of $100 help us buy new densiometers, which helps our students measure the amount of canopy cover provided by the trees growing around them. We need 5.

$200

LQ Stream

A donation of $200 will buy one Vernier LabQuest Stream. This is a device that allows multiple sensors to transmit data to a tablet via Bluetooth signal. This will allow students to increase the amount of data they collect in their inquiries. We are hoping to fundraise for 10 of these.

$300

Pelican Case

Your donation of $300 will provide us with one Pelican Case and padding to protect our data collection equipment(sensor kits, iPad minis, etc) for many years to come. We are seeking to fundraise for 10 of these.

$400

iPad Mini

A donation of $400 will buy one iPad Mini for our young scientists. The mini will serve as the primary interface between the students and the data they collect in the field. We are hoping to raise enough funds for 10 iPad minis.

$500

Sensor Kit

A donation of $500 will allow us to purchase one sensor kit. This kit includes the sensors that measure dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, pH and nitrate/phosphate concentrations. Our goal of 10 kits will update the gear for every group in the field.

$750

Pair of Mighty Scopes

A donation of $750 will buy a pair of Mighty Scopes. These incredible tools connect via Bluetooth to our tablets. An entire group of students can see the same magnified image at once. We are hoping to raise enough funds to purchase two.
