One of the most exciting moments was when my students first saw the fresh markers and eraser fluid—they immediately got to work, eager to sketch out their ideas.\r\n\r\nOne standout project has been using the markers and whiteboard for our modeling-based physics lessons. Students collaborate to develop and refine their theories, visually representing concepts like motion and forces before testing and revising them. The whiteboards give them a space to think out loud, make mistakes, and adjust their reasoning in real-time.\r\n\r\nWhen they first started using the new materials, there was a noticeable shift in engagement—having high-quality tools made a difference! The vibrant markers made their diagrams and equations clearer, and being able to erase cleanly kept their work organized and readable.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue refining their models and applying their understanding to real-world scenarios. These materials are essential as we move into our next project, where students will analyze and present their findings using their whiteboard diagrams as a foundation. Thanks to our generous donors, they have the tools to think critically, collaborate effectively, and bring their ideas to life!","fullyFundedDate":1729700022937,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboards-in-motion-empowering-minds/8781094/","projectTitle":"Whiteboards in Motion: Empowering Minds Through Modeling","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bloomfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9630507"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66757","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":978,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":76.1,"schoolId":66757,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Battle Creek Central High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Battle Creek Central High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/battle-creek-public-school-district/battle-creek-central-high-school/66757"}
