My Project

Help me provide my students with hands-on learning experiences in the physics classroom with a variety of laboratory tools.

This year, we will be studying motion, forces, energy, momentum, sound, electricity, and more!

Students learn best by doing. I try to provide my students with plenty of opportunities to investigate and learn from doing physics. They also collaborate and share findings with one another. Experience and discourse helps to build understanding and confidence in what they have learned. With these resources, students will be able to measure the force of collisions, experience the field of forensics with the Crash in the Night kit, measure force with the force table, and much more. Students are more engaged with hands-on learning and come to class excited to learn.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
