My Students

My students are very smart and motivated for science. Our school was created in 1957 as a math and science school and today, and it still has strong math and science programs. My students love the material, but they also enjoy the lab activities very much. They often make comments such as Chemistry is cool! It's like cooking!

I'm the science department chair and I teach physics, mostly, but also one chemistry course.

Three other colleagues also teach Honors Chemistry, Chemistry Gifted, and AP Chem.

It is a school requirement that students take at least three AP courses during their high school years.

My Project

We are all stuck home due to COVID-19 and I do my best to teach science from home using Zoom among other only resources and tools.

Our school had a limited supply of document cameras, and I was not able to take one home.

The camera that I picked, the QPC20 F1 is a high quality, affordable, and ultra-portable doc cam that doubles as a document scanner and webcam. It features USB connection for image and video capturing, which will be very useful to teach remotely.

My students will be able to follow along on Zoom the documents that I present to them. They will be able to learn their science materials while sitting at home, without missing a beat.

Thank you very much for considering this urgent project!
