My Students

Remember the magic of science class when you were growing up? Physics opens up a world of wonder and excitement for young minds. While learning important concepts, we get to have fun with the coolest toys in school.

My students come from very diverse backgrounds and, from the start, I try to instill a sense of wonder and awe in science in every student.

Some of my students arrive from very affluent neighborhoods, while others have just arrived in this country and face many challenges in getting acclimated to school. In my classes, I have more than 20% economically needy students. 43% of the students at my high school are on free/reduced lunch.

The magic of Physics comes alive in my room with interactive projects, hands-on labs, and mind-blowing demos that reveal deep misconceptions most of us have about how things work. On the first day of school, my students work together to try to understand how Lenz's Law works (without ever having been taught the concept). It's amazing to see the ideas that sprout forth on that first day. From then on, they are constantly challenged and must defend their positions with evidence.

My Project

Through generous donations from donors like you, I have been very fortunate to be able to upgrade half of the computers in my Physics lab (3 out of 6 so far). The older computers are still holding on so I am able to obtain these one at a time. These computers are used in the majority of my hands-on lab experiences for my students. They are connected to PASCO interfaces that accept all kinds of science probes and sensors to measure things like motion, force, temperature, electric current, and voltage, etc.

By upgrading my lab computers I am able to continue to offer real-world lab experiences to my students.

The students also have their own school-issued laptops and by the end of the day, some of them need to connect to a charger. I like to have plenty of available computer chargers for them to use.
