Because of your support, our classroom is now equipped with the race cars and track-building materials necessary to bring physics to life.\r\nInstead of just reading about force and acceleration in a textbook, my students are actively building, testing, and experimenting. Watching them witness Newton's Third Law of Motion right in front of their eyes as cars collide and accelerate has been absolutely thrilling.\r\nThis project has truly leveled the playing field in our diverse classroom. Our students—ranging from special education students to advanced learners—have all been deeply engaged, working side by side to calculate speed and analyze force. Your investment has not only boosted their comprehension of complex physics concepts but has also created joyful, lasting memories of hands-on science. Thank you for making this meaningful experience possible for every learner in our class.","fullyFundedDate":1776135881998,"projectUrl":"project/newtons-race-car/10076756/","projectTitle":"Newton's Race Car","teacherDisplayName":"Coach P","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10426080_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y163&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1772594367623","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coachp42"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8890","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2669,"numTeachers":156,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":70.4,"schoolId":8890,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Midway High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Midway High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/midway-ind-school-district-mclennan/midway-high-school/8890"}
