Help me give my students an annual Physics Olympics experience when they can apply what they've learned in a fun environment. This will be a schoolwide competition amongst our 9th graders, full of activities such as a Jenga competition, tug of war, and water balloon launch that test their collaboration, cooperation, and physics knowledge. Classes will earn points and an annual winner will be crowned, complete with a trophy. The goal is to make learning fun for our 9th graders, engage them in science exploration, and give classes something to bring them together.
Half of 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
