My Project
It is very important to address the mental health of Physics students as they are typically under quite a bit of academic pressure. There are plenty of opportunities to offer the students a bit of a break from the day to day stressors they are dealing with by developing the proper types of labs in Physics. Many of the labs involve motion and collisions involving balls and other types of materials. By acquiring the materials that make up this project, I will be able to offer labs involving energy, momentum, rotation, and simple harmonic motion. But what the students will not realize, is that they are learning while having fun the entire time. I want to offer them a break from our normal day to day experiments, and have them recharge mental health through Phun with Physics.
