Hands on Science Classroom: Measurement, Magnetic Fields, and Spectroscopy
Help me give my students magnetic field visualization tools, diffraction gratings, measuring tools, and markers to get a hands on visual and drawing experience in their science classroom!

My Project
Hi! I teach high school science on the south side of Chicago, and I want to give my students as many hands-on activities as I can. I find that seeing demonstrations and having hands-on activities greatly increases student engagement in their science class. These items will be used in a new unit I am including this year that will introduce students to the concept of quantum mechanics. The magnetic fields will be a great visualization tool of a quantum mechanical phenomenon made macroscopic. The diffraction gratings will be used with spectral emission lamps where students can actually see the discrete energy levels of different elements. Finally, the meter sticks will be used when we discuss the difference between making classical and quantum measurements. I am very excited to implement this new unit and introduce my students to the wonderful world of quantum mechanics!
