My Project

Thank you for considering donating to my students! As part of our curriculum we teach a unit on Force and Motion. What better way to learn about this topic than through real-world applications and playing games? I am hoping to give my students this opportunity!

During the unit, students will be divided into teams of two and compete against their peers.

They will practice exerting the correct amount of force to reach the desired target. They will also practice making stationary objects start to move and slowing down moving objects.

Table-top curling is a great way to keep students engaged while learning the content. Again, I thank you for taking the time to consider donating to my classroom!
