My students love physics! They just don't know it yet! I want to introduce physics in a hands on way that requires equipment that will peak their interest in topics they have wanted to learn more about: building a speaker, understanding light, and analyzing heat absorption of metal. The materials that will be used for these projects would be the light box, that would be used to understand overlapping colors, ball and ring apparatus which would be used for a thermal expansion activity/demo, magnet pairs would be used for a electromagnetism lab activity, diffraction gratings for students to analyze different spectra of various elements, lasers to study how light goes through various media. Previous years, my students enjoyed these topics and requested more hands on labs and I want to give an opportunity to them to learn more outside the standard powerpoint presentation or worksheet assignments. Science is all about play and exploration. I want to bring back the idea of exploring light with lasers, lenses, and power sources. If there is anything that I want my students to walk out with is the memories and skills from my physics class; not simply memorization.
