I have found one of the best ways to teach physics is to simply give students a toy to play with. I've also found that the more students are out of their seats, engaging with physical objects and interacting with each other as a team, the more they learn. I'm asking for classroom sets of two different items that will help complete the lab set up for multiple lab activities. 1) A set of flying pigs is not only a hilarious sight, but they are great examples of rotational motion. Students can collect data in a myriad of ways to better understand centripetal motion. 2) A set of constant velocity carts will help students differentiate between velocity and acceleration: these two concepts may seem easy to understand on the road in a vehicle, but they are quite confusing when placed in the context of a science classroom. This is especially true when their motion is graphed. Physics is boring and scary when taught in the vacuum of a textbook. As I transition from one school to another, I'm unable to bring much of the equipment and toys I used at my old school. These items will last for many years and will allow the students to engage in activities that will allow them to really dive deep into some difficult but fascinating physics topics!
