My Project

My Physics & Chemistry students this school year are all ready to kick off this school year by engaging in the real world applications of the physical sciences. To best cater to these eager learners, I'm planning to make my daily lessons as relatable as possible to their everyday life! These Electronic balances will be of utmost use in helping my students practice and learn experimental techniques and hence explore how our science applies to our daily life.

By this hands-on approach in my classroom using engaging experiments and activities, students will learn to adapt, innovate and think critically while solving real world problems like true scientists!
