Because of your kindness, my students now have access to a motion sensor that has completely transformed the way I teach and students learn about distance-time graphs. \r\n\r\nWe used the motion sensor at the very beginning of our unit as a lesson hook, and it immediately captured the students' attentions! One of the most memorable moments was watching student take turns walking, speeding up, slowing down, and even stopping in front of the sensor, and seeing their movements instantly appear on a distance-time graph. My students were excited to connect their own motion to what the graph was showing, and it sparked meaningful discussions about slope, changes in motion, and what different sections of a graph represents. The sensor has also become a valuable tool during review days and learning stations by allowing students to revisit concepts in a hands-on, engaging way while reinforcing their understanding. \r\n\r\nYour support has made a lasting impact by turning an abstract concept into an interactive, student-centered experience. Thank you for investing in my students and helping make science more engaging, meaningful, and fun! We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and the learning opportunities you've made possible!!","fullyFundedDate":1759199260269,"projectUrl":"project/science-in-motion/9438227/","projectTitle":"Science in Motion!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Corral","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10066354_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751128139052","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10066354"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11977","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":461,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":11977,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Glen Rose Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Glen Rose Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/glen-rose-independent-school-district/glen-rose-junior-high-school/11977"}
