Physics in Action!

Help me give my students these inclined planes, cars and inertia devices to do cool physics experiments.

My Project

My students have struggled with cool hands-on experiments these last few years. With the addition of the new standards in Arizona and lack of funding that we are suffering in this state it would be so very nice to give my students these hands-on opportunities. I know my seventh graders would have a blast conducting these physics experiments.

I already know several experiments and demonstrations I’ll have the students do using these tools.

Last year I had to pull my own money together and find supplies around the school and classroom to create good physics experiments. I think the addition of these materials will light the lamp of science in my kids.
