My Students

Every day children arrive at schools in cars and buses. I want to open their minds by showing them that cars can be designed to conserve energy.

I have two science classes with 24 students in each class.

We are a title one school. My students love to experiment. They would do anything to build, or get their hands dirty. In our science class we try and have one experiment a week which is hard to do without any supplies.

My Project

I would love to have these three car experiments for my students. We have two units one deals with electric and the other one deals with pollution. I would enjoy showing them how car designers get their ideas and what a model would look that. This would show my students that their ideas are the key to uncovering the newest technology.

My students could learn so much from this science experiments.

They could see how different types of energy can produce movements. In today education world resources are limited. In the science world experiment are a key items and you would be giving my students the chance of a lifetime.
