We like to schedule our labs when they are relevant to the topics we are teaching. With your help, we were able to do them at the right time, making them most meaningful for the students. Using the stopwatches, my students were able to determine the speed of a bowling ball rolling down the hallway, calculate the height and speed of an air rocket, measure the acceleration of a ball rolling down an incline, and track the distance traveled by a projectile. Timing objects was a critical step in all of these labs, as well as many more we have planned for the rest of the school year. I was also able to share these stopwatches with the physics team, so they were used by over 450 students!\r\n\r\nStudents love doing labs, and I cannot convey the joy I see when they walk in and all I say is, \"We're doing a lab today.\" They get quiet, listen to instructions, and are ready to start collecting data.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1755698455919,"projectUrl":"project/stopwatches-for-physics-help-keep-our-l/9518772/","projectTitle":"Stopwatches for Physics: Help Keep Our Labs Running on Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5262515_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528744832092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/m-t-"},{"teacherId":5262515,"projectId":9235442,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my classroom with books and enrichment materials. As we closed out the last school year, students used these resources to relax after final exams—whether it was making origami animals, coloring, learning chess strategies, or reading science-related books.\r\nThis year, students are excited to have these materials available after completing their daily practice assignments and assessments. I've created a student bookshelf that includes the books, origami paper, coloring sheets, and other creative activities. It has been wonderful to see students reading, drawing, and writing during their free time once schoolwork is finished.\r\nThank you again for your generous support!","fullyFundedDate":1744232547402,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-science-books/9235442/","projectTitle":"Classroom Science Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5262515_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528744832092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/m-t-"},{"teacherId":5262515,"projectId":9107850,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding this project! Your contribution made it possible for us to conduct two hands-on labs on simple harmonic motion, where students determined the spring constant of their spring in two different ways. I've included some photos to show the results and the lab setup.\r\n\r\nThe light bulbs were also incredibly helpful for our three circuit labs this year. Students learned how to build series and parallel circuits and practiced wiring them with a switch. One of the highlights was creating a hallway circuit, along with other complex configurations.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your support—thanks again!","fullyFundedDate":1739554814470,"projectUrl":"project/physics-lab-supplies/9107850/","projectTitle":"Physics Lab Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5262515_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528744832092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/m-t-"},{"teacherId":5262515,"projectId":8767223,"letterContent":"Thanks to you, all of my students have access to scientific calculators that help us understand physics.
