Physics can be challenging! I strive to make my student's physics class hands-on so they can learn physics concepts in real-world applications. Donations toward this project will allow my students to experience hands-on laboratory-based physics in small group pairs. One of the biggest challenges of teaching a laboratory based class is keeping group sizes small enough to ensure every student can participate. By increase the supplies that I already have, I will be able to make their group sizes productive. Flying pigs will allow them to student circular motion and centripetal force in a fun and exciting manner. Bumper cars allow students to visualize collisions and understand how varying car masses results in different velocity changes. Tumble buggies are fantastic tools for students to get a basic grasp of position, distance, displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
