My Project

Laboratory assignments are essential to developing student understanding in a physics classroom. The requested supplies in this project will allow my students to collect more accurate and precise data that will enhance their understanding and allow them to observe physics in their everyday lives. I want to help my students find confidence and joy in my physics class by enhancing my instruction with engaging and accessible demonstrations

My physics students are always curious to know new physics concepts and implement them in their everyday life.

By seeing and helping to actively measure the motion of objects, I hope that my students will be better able to grapple with the challenging concepts covered in the course, and have more fun while doing so. I am serving more than one hundred and twenty students in Physics classes including twenty Advance Placement students in Physics.

Grades 9-12
