SIMS Let's Get Physical

My students need the materials in the electromagnet sets to investigate electromagnetism. They also need laser pointers, some metal Slinkys, magnifiers, tuning forks, and other supplies to aid in this process!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Langston's classroom raised $599

This project is fully funded

My Students

I would like for my students to become excited about science and stay excited about science. The best way to do this is with hands-on activities and demonstrations.

We are a rural school with 65 percent of our students receiving free/reduced lunch.

My students have limited experiences outside of their community. Most of the students have blue-collar parents with limited knowledge of the importance of science. I would like to encourage my students to have futures in the science field.

My Project

Physical science is the most difficult area of science for students to understand. These materials will allow the students to build electromagnets and investigate the variables that affect its strength.

Providing many hands-on activities relating to physical science is the key to promoting student understanding.

The metal springs and laser pointers will give students the opportunity to explore the characteristics of waves. The various other materials provide students with a "mystery box" in which they will use engineering design processes to create a model of the reflection and absorption of waves. Students will practice communicating with a presentation of their models.
