My Students
My students thoroughly enjoy learning Science by "playing" with hands-on activities, so I try and provide as many as possible in my classroom.
My students are a highly inquisitive and motivated group of 9th and 12th-grade Science students.
We are a comprehensive public charter high school located in Southern California. My students are always motivated by real-world applications of what we are learning, and I try as best I can to provide them with the opportunities to learn from hands-on activities.
My Project
This refrigeration system will allow my students to explore how well battery systems work when used to power portable fridge/freezer systems. I would like to be able to offer my students the opportunity to explore this concept with hands-on activities and envision student designed experiments be completed with this system.
In this age of natural catastrophes the question of how well off grid systems actually work often come up when we are discussing how refrigeration systems work and this would be a real world tool used to explore the concept in depth.
More than half of students from low‑income households
