Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

Students love learning about science, particularly through STEM. Using the provided curriculum the students enjoy the concept, but they want to learn further. They can read about these concepts, discuss them, watch videos, and do some hands on activities. We have the ability to read, discuss, watch videos, and do minimal hands on project.

With a pendulum, gyroscope, and other interactive materials, our students will deepen their understanding of the concept of science and STEM ideas, particularly motion.

We will use these magnificent devices to push our thinking and deepen our knowledge of motion.
