My Project

We are a newer school in the local community with limited funding for science. In the 8th grade, the standards take us through an amazing introduction to physics and earth science. These topics provide an amazing opportunity for hands-on learning! We just need all the tools to make it happen now.

My students are so excited to do hands-on learning with experiments!

We try to do projects once a quarter currently, but I really want to be doing projects once a week! Building motors, bouncing light waves, models of the solar systems, demonstrations of Newton's Laws, the possibilities are endless!
