Since our school's new phone policy took effect, students can no longer use phone apps as timers, and your digital stopwatches filled that gap right away. Students have used them again and again to explore kinematics relationships and to measure the acceleration due to gravity, collecting their own data to verify textbook values.\r\n\r\nThe Vernier force sensors made their debut in our friction lab, where students measured frictional forces directly and used their data to calculate coefficients of friction. Their first reaction was amazement at how much detail the sensors capture. Until now they had only used spring scales, which give one rough reading at a time. Now they could watch the force change in real time on our lab hubs and see every rise and dip on the graph. That contrast made it click for many of them why precise measurement matters so much in science.\r\n\r\nNext up is momentum. Students will use the the stopwatches and force sensors in cart collision labs to measure the force during impact and calculate impulse. These labs used to be mostly qualitative for us, but thanks to you, all students can now do the same kind of analysis they'll see in a college physics course. Thank you for investing in our students' curiosity!","fullyFundedDate":1788133625148,"projectUrl":"project/stopwatches-and-force-sensors/10475083/","projectTitle":"Stopwatches and Force Sensors","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Carroll","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4126151_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1488990466501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/conor-carroll"},{"teacherId":8627133,"projectId":10725037,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and for supporting our DonorsChoose project!

The fidgets have also been a wonderful resource for students who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or having a difficult day. They give students a calming tool to help manage their emotions and refocus when they need it most.\r\n\r\nOur students were so excited to see the snacks and materials! The art supplies give them an opportunity to be happy, express themselves, and enjoy a positive activity.

Your generosity has helped us create a space where students can express themselves, collaborate with one another, and take ownership of their learning. When students first saw the notebooks, poster paper, and glue, they were excited to have materials they could use to make their ideas tangible and create work they could be proud of. These resources have helped reinforce the idea that our classroom is a space where their voices, creativity, and perspectives matter.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the notebooks for personal reflections, written responses, and explorations of identity and community. Students are able to use their journals to make connections between their own experiences and the topics we study in Ethnic Studies. The poster paper and glue give students opportunities to work together, organize their thinking visually, and bring their ideas to life through collaborative projects. As we continue learning about ourselves, our communities, and the world around us, students will use these materials to develop projects that reflect their understanding of the histories, experiences, and perspectives we explore in class. Our next steps are to continue building on these reflections through collaborative work that encourages students to think critically, learn from one another, and share their knowledge with others.
