These materials give students the tools they need to bring their creativity and engineering ideas to life. Through our artistic circuits project, students get to explore electricity by designing and building circuits that reflect their own interests and identities. Instead of simply drawing circuit diagrams or solving problems on paper, they get to work with real materials, make connections, troubleshoot problems, and see their ideas come to life.\r\n\r\nI'm especially excited about the opportunities these tools create for students to work independently and collaboratively through the engineering design process. As they build, test, and revise their circuits, they develop a deeper understanding of current, voltage, resistance, and series and parallel circuits while also building confidence in their ability to solve problems.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make physics a place where creativity and science come together and where students can see themselves as engineers and capable creators!","fullyFundedDate":1783612108628,"projectUrl":"project/powering-creativity-tools-for-electric/10260796/","projectTitle":"Powering Creativity: Tools for Electric Art Engineering","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Morey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2431982_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449522108850","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/smorey"},{"teacherId":2431982,"projectId":10372159,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our physics classroom!

It was wonderful to see them making observations, discussing what they noticed, and trying to figure out what was happening in each reaction.\r\n\r\nThese materials will also allow students to move beyond watching demonstrations and conduct their own investigations. Having access to chemicals like hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and magnesium gives students opportunities to observe chemical changes, collect evidence, make predictions, and connect what they see in the laboratory to the particles and chemical equations we study in class.\r\n\r\nI love seeing how engaged students become when they can experience science for themselves.

I've been able to offer snacks to students who need something to eat, including in situations where they might not otherwise feel comfortable asking.

Shaky hands or inconsistent lighting don't get in the way of development a student's vision as in the past. The high quality materials the tripods are made of give the students an extra level of intentionality as well. We don't have to modge-podge everything together just for the sake of making it work.

These calculators are used every day for classwork, laboratory investigations, assessments, and collaborative problem-solving. They also give students consistent access to the tools they need as they prepare for more advanced science courses and the AP Physics exam.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, advanced science courses are new territory. A classroom set of calculators helps ensure that a student's ability to participate isn't determined by what they can afford to bring from home. Instead, every student can sit down with the same essential tool and focus on asking questions, making sense of evidence, and persevering through challenging problems.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping remove a barrier to learning.
