Jackson Lab donates equipment to schools

BAR HARBOR — The Jackson Laboratory has donated more than $7,000 worth of laboratory equipment for Maine high school science classrooms under a collaborative effort, “Project Maine Organizations Underwriting Science Education.”

U.S. Department of Education figures show that a quarter of high school seniors enrolled in science courses have never performed an in-class experiment, and many Maine science and biology classes lack basic supplies such as test tubes, flasks, beakers and more sophisticated equipment.

For information on Project MOUSE, contact the Jackson Laboratory, 288-5057.
