Equipment Loan List (PDF, Excel): Here is the list of the equipment available to borrow within the Interschool Equipment Loan Program. If you are unable to view this list, we can mail it to you.
George Fox University has state-of-the-art scientific equipment many Elementary, Middle, and High Schools do not. The GFU Science Outreach Program started the Interschool Equipment Loan Program to make available our equipment to these schools and enable teachers to provide tangible learning experiences for their students. This program is also available to the homeschooling community. If you need microscopes, dissecting tools, physics models, or a variety of other teaching items, we can loan them to you and help enrich scientific learning in your classroom.
Our goal is to encourage and empower teachers to become dynamic scientists and more effectively teach the wonder of God’s creation to future scientists. Contact the Science Outreach department if you need help brainstorming ideas for your students.
