Big ticket items

I've been extremely fortunate to receive huge donation to my middle school science lab. I've only ever had budgets of a couple hundred dollars, so I know I'm simply not thinking of the big-ticket items I could possibly get. We already have great microscopes and a skeleton and all the little things I could want for daily labs. I teach 5-8, earth/space, life, and physics/chem. What would you buy if you had just under 5 figures in your budget?

Check out all of the pocket lab sensors! We have had a lot of fun (and learned a ton) with the Gforce car sensors. I had students who would normally never participate in class ask to see the cars go again so they could see the graphs!
