Help me give my students an experience with electrostatics that they will never forget!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Hansen's classroom raised $998

My Students

Our middle school class is filled with students from many different backgrounds. We have kids from all over the world. Hands on learning is one of the greatest way to learn science!

We want our students to have the tools they need in order to succeed.

My Project

The principles of electrostatics can be taught many ways, but seeing it with the Van De Graaff Generator work is something students will never forget. This brings new meaning to "Hands-on" science!

Witnessing the principles of electrostatics first hand and in such an incredible way will have students excited for more!

It is this kind of experience that students will always remember.

Having students experiment with this generator while drawing their ideas and hypotheses will create an opportunity for students to learn while having a blast! Students deserve to get their hands on a Van De Graaf Generator!
