My Project

Sheesh! We're in the midst of a multimillion-dollar renovation, which sounds great until you realize that the contractors and subs took everything they liked!

I lost many personal items, which just is what it is, but losing my physics and math supplies are detrimental to my program!

Measurement is where we start in Physics, and I weave it into my Algebra II curriculum. Students know nothing about reading a ruler, much less SI Units. I try to introduce them to SI units by using instruments scaled that way, then use the internet to translate them into more familiar units, to give them a "feel" for what they are measuring. The scales, balances, and multi-meters will allow that to happen.
