This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
This project will help provide some balloons and balloon pumps for my engineering class. I have found that students not only really enjoy the twisting of the balloons into balloon animals, but also that the balloons are an interesting way to teach concepts like air pressure and its relationship to volume.
I will use these balloons as materials for my principles of engineering class to teach pressure and volume and also as a fun distraction on days when students have finished their work.
My engineering students enjoy working with the balloons and often take their creations home to show off the work they do at school which gets their parents talking to them about engineering class.
