Iconic Physics Projects

Help me give my students iconic physics experiences! Each student will receive a mouse trap and wood to help engineer models!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Boctor's classroom raised $597

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The mouse traps will be used as a motor for small model cars that the students will design. The balsa wood will be used to construct bridge models.

These projects are essential and iconic for any high schooler's physics experience.

While I was in high school I did these projects and they were the highlight of my physics experience. These projects challenge students to engineer in ways they may have never done before.

Help us acquire the materials necessary to do these projects!

My students and I appreciate your time and donations.

Thanks again!

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
