Help Us Explore Sound and Resonance With a Spouting Bowl
My students need 1 spouting resonance bowl.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. McElfresh's classroom raised $199
This project is fully funded
My Students
I try to make my physics class room a fun and exciting place to learn the content material. My students are huge fans of hands-on demonstrations so I try and use real world examples of the physics involved with the topics in my curriculum.
My students are a highly inquisitive and motivated group of 11th and 12th grade physics students.
We are a comprehensive public charter high school located in Southern California. They are always motivated by real world applications of what we are learning, and I try as best I can to provide them with these types of opportunities.
My Project
Like I have mentioned earlier, my students are highly interested in hands-on demonstrations and models so this spouting bowl will allow me to feed off that interest. This will help them learn the principles of sound and resonance in a new and unique manner by providing them with ample hands on learning opportunities.
I know that bringing physical models into my class room is extremely valuable and enriching, and I believe that this piece of equipment will greatly enhance their enjoyment of learning physics.
More than half of students from low‑income households
