My students need Lego pieces to help them learn about the properties of motion and apply concepts of physics to hands on activities and problem solving.
My students are ninth graders in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are just beginning the exciting journey that is high school. It is my hope that with your help I can provide them with the best education possible. They are eager and ready to learn.
As part of the largest high school in the Philadelphia School District, our students are almost always in need of new supplies.
With differing backgrounds and quality of science education coming from early schooling, my students need to be given a consistent and well-stocked classroom to really prepare them for their high school education.
My Project
The physical concepts of motion and simple machines can be difficult for students to wrap their heads around. With the Lego supplies from this project my students will have the chance to bring those concepts to life. We will use these supplies to build balloon powered cars, levers, pulleys, and other models.
Students will have a change to demonstrate their creativity, develop problem solving skills, practice engineering concepts and learn about forces and motion, all through the use of Lego Building Blocks.
It is my hope that students will be better able to internalize the concepts I am teaching through these hands on practices, rather than simply memorizing a few equations for an exam. These supplies will provide a practical look at what can, at times, be very abstract concepts.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
