Marbles and Physics

My students need a Straight Marble Track from CPO.

  • $132 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hi, I am a science teacher from a small Indiana school. I currently teach Physics and Integrated Chemistry-Physics covering grades 10 through 12.

Our school is quickly approaching 50 years old and much of our equipment is the same. Our old equipment is becoming worn down and no longer useful.

I currently use CPO equipment and I am looking to add more to what we have. I would like to get a straight marble track from CPO. This equipment is easy to use and gives meaningful results to the students. The students also have fun with the equipment. Students will be able to use this equipment for several labs and for years to come.

Physics labs need to be repeatable with precise results. The CPO equipment allow the students to do just that. The results are meaningful and helps tie what is learned in the lecture with real life examples.
