Help me give my students Scientific demonstrations and materials that will help my scholars explore and understand principles in physics. The optical bench set will help me expand into a study of optics!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Tompkins's classroom raised $589

My Project
I have been working to expand my laboratory equipment to help my 8th-grade scholars gain a better understanding of physics principles. I intend to use these materials to do just that! The items I chose help give abstract concepts concrete, observable phenomena to anchor students learning. The optical lens track will help me expand into a unit on optics, which I intend to do this year. Interactions with other students through hands-on activities will give them chances to interact with each other, expanding their social-emotional learning through group activities. Thank you so much for your generosity.
