My Students
We are a Title I school located on the edge of Appalachia in the Ohio River Valley. Students come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, family situations, and world views.
The incoming 7th graders will be coming into their second year at BSMS.
A few students are well-known to me as last year they enrolled in two enrichment/elective classes which I taught (Future City and Robotics), but the vast majority are still relatively unknown to me as their first day of class is not until September 8. I look forward to getting to know them, fostering a love of science and the natural world, and maybe having a few laughs along the way.
My Project
We love science, especially fun experiments. The problem with our experiments is that they are normally "one and done," with students referencing notes or memory as we move ahead with analyses. Often, it would be incredibly helpful to go back and review certain steps, moments, and reactions to gain a deeper understanding of what happened. A high-speed camera would certainly be a great tool in accomplishing this.
This autumn, our classroom will be physics-heavy with extended units on Energy, Force & Interactions and Newton's Laws of Motion.
The experiments that are planned will be eye-catching and exciting. Catapults, pumpkin drops, and the physics of baseball are three examples. A high speed camera will allow students to film the actions and results and enable them to go back to review, frame-by-frame, the entire process.
This camera will also allow me to provide students who are being kept home during the pandemic with the same experiments and results that the students who are physically in class have access to, keeping us all on the same page.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
