On top of all this, this setup gives us the opportunity to eliminate timing errors and find real data on friction and many other features.

Thank you so much!\r\nMy students have been so excited to get to learn and try out new equipment! It has been a blast and we will continue to use them throughout the school year.

On top of this, it has been so cool to just watch my students get to play and discover as high school students. I think we forget about how much anyone can learn through play and discovery.

This is huge for saving time in laboratory setups. On top of this, the school water is very hard and has so many minerals that this water is much better for my students to drink. The water distiller has already saved me money by just being able to distill tap water and reuse our plastic jugs. With my enrollment tripling this year from 15 last to 50 this year, we go through a lot of distilled water for labs.

Plus my students LOVE to work on whiteboards!\r\nIt also allows me to help them solve problems and easily make changes if there are mistakes. My Chemistry and Business Mathematics students appreciate all the extra features on the calculators, especially the logarithm and exponent keys. \r\nThe chrome book chargers are used daily as well. These are so useful because we are a 1 to 1 device school; however, several of my students forget their charger or lose charge throughout the day.
