Help me give my students 4 G-Force Cars from Pocket Lab to bring our total to 8 so each group has their own to use for our physics labs.

My Project
My kiddos are amazing and thrive when challenged. These sensors will allow students to collect data in real time. These sensors will allow me to turn my normal physics labs for friction, motion, speed, and graphing into more accuarate and technology heavy data collection opportunities! Students will have the opportunity to make connections in real time with what they are observing thanks to the data that the sensors will be relaying back to them. For example for my lab on friction, students can complete the same lab with the same materials, but have a more accurate account of what is truly happening by seeing how the surfaces they run the car across at the bottom of the ramp effect the car as it moves across them. It allows them to truly see if there is human error due to pushing the car down the ramp instead of just releasing as well as how the surfaces effect the car. By utilizing technology more in my classroom, it will not only allow for a more enjoyable experience for my kiddos and moves us into 21st century science experiences, but will help prepare them for future jobs, especially if they are chosing to go into STEM based fields. Having 4 more will ensure that each group will have their own when completing lab activities. Thanks so much for supporting my students!
