Help me give my students a speed meter, bouncy balls, euler's disk, water balloon launcher, chalk markers, and foam dart refills.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Dillon's classroom raised $281
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The items in this project are things that I would love for my students to experience, but I have always prioritized other items. Now I want my students to have those extra items and get more memorable hands-on physics experience!
Physics is Fun!
and I truly hope that my students remember everything they learn inside my classroom, but sometimes they need to get out of the classroom or see a new example of how stuff works!
The happy/sad bouncy balls are great as an introductory phenomenon to energy, the Euler's disk is a mesmerizing demonstration of low friction surfaces, the foam darts will help to replace missing supplies for projectile labs, the chalk markers will help to show clearer color diagrams/examples on the whiteboard in class, the water balloon launcher is an exciting way to show outdoor projectiles during fair weather, and the additional BeeSpi timer will give our class a way to measure a second data point for many different types of motion labs.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
