With it, we were able to get our much-needed clay. I already had one project in mind: modeling the Barycenter of two celestial bodies. Without modeling a Barycenter, all the students will see is a diagram of a planet orbiting a star, both connected by an imaginary line. That doesn't have much of an impact. Once we start working with the model, students can see the center of mass, and the imaginary light bulbs suddenly appear over their heads. That's our current project.\r\n\r\nLater, we'll start modeling landforms when we study Earth's geology, specifically topography. I normally have students draw topographic maps based on an image of a landscape, which is fine. Building on this, students can now model landscapes in clay while looking at a topographic map. There is one more activity we might use the clay for, but I haven't worked out the kinks yet.\r\n\r\nThank you again so much. None of this would be possible without your help!","fullyFundedDate":1764810422903,"projectUrl":"project/molded-by-nature-mr-crafts-earth-scie/9771311/","projectTitle":"Molded by Nature: Mr. Craft's Earth Science Modeling Clay Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Craft","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9713889"},{"teacherId":6122790,"projectId":9705095,"letterContent":"Thank You so much for our new Sawstop Jobsite table saw. This saw will allow students to have the same safety features of a Sawstop table saw anywhere we might need a table saw around the school campus or just to have another table saw in the shop. The Sawstop technology is a great feature that stops the saw in a situation where the student could otherwise lose a body part with a normal table saw by getting cut. This saw stops the blade and drops it below the surface very fast so that the threat has been stopped and hopefully there won't be an accident or amputation of a hand or fingers.

This saw and track system will give students a better way, and a much more accurate way to cut large panels. We usually rely on the table saw to do this type work, but that is sometimes hard for students due to their lack of experience.
