The additional calculators helped us complete set, which has made a huge difference during labs and problem-solving activities. The painters tape has been especially useful for physics investigations. We use it to mark distances on the floor for motion labs, label stations, create tracks and target areas. The dry erase markers are essential for my teaching, demonstrating physics concepts on the board and drawing are essential to every lesson. \r\n\r\nThe materials will continue supporting our classroom routines. The scratch and sniff stickers will help celebrate student effort, especially when students take academic risks or work through difficult physics problems. These simple but important resources are helping make the classroom more prepared, engaging, and encouraging for students.","fullyFundedDate":1771796884855,"projectUrl":"project/essential-tools-for-hands-on-physics/10108511/","projectTitle":"Essential Tools for Hands on Physics","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9546794_orig.jpg?crop=873,873,x752,y564&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716785250579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9546794"},{"teacherId":9546794,"projectId":10006194,"letterContent":"My students are using these resources to support both daily learning and some larger physics projects. The calculators are helping students feel more confident with physics math, especially working through problems in motion, energy, electricity and magnetism. The battery holders are being used in our electromagnetism labs so students can safely build circuits and test how electricity flows. The poster paper has already been used for a careers in physics activity where students researched real-world careers connected to physics an presented them to the class.\r\n\r\nStudents were excited to see materials that made the classroom more like a real science space. Calculators were especially helpful because many students do not always have access to their own. Students will continue to use these materials in our electricity and magnetism unit. The calculators will continue to support students as they practice their calculations.","fullyFundedDate":1769477664485,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-students-with-the-tools-to-lea/10006194/","projectTitle":"Equipping Students With the Tools to Learn and Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9546794_orig.jpg?crop=873,873,x752,y564&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716785250579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9546794"},{"teacherId":9546794,"projectId":9970475,"letterContent":"My students are using these new materials to bring physics and engineering concepts to life through hands on investigations. The mini photogates gave us the opportunity to record accurate real-time speed data in a realistic lab setting. This helped students learn concepts in kinematics and energy and gave them a real-world observation of speed data collection. This also improved the accuracy of our calculations that used the speed data. The balsa wood sticks and cardboard cutters have been continually used for engineering design projects where students build, test and improve structures. For example our earthquake building design exploring seismic waves, and our rollercoaster energy lab. \r\n\r\nMy students were excited and curious when they first got to work with the materials. Many of them had never used equipment like photogates before. The balsa wood and cardboard cutters were put to use immediately and our first project, students had a competition to build the tallest ramp with the most potential energy. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, students will continue to use the these resources to build on their knowledge. These materials are helping my students become more confident problem solvers and giving them access to the science tools they deserve.","fullyFundedDate":1769319833653,"projectUrl":"project/learning-physics-by-building/9970475/","projectTitle":"Learning Physics by Building","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9546794_orig.jpg?crop=873,873,x752,y564&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716785250579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9546794"},{"teacherId":8431684,"projectId":9811456,"letterContent":"I'm happy to say that receiving the donations for this project really boosted the potential of my class to participate in meaningful life skills/vocational activities within the classroom and campus-wide. Students take turns having the classroom job of \"sweeping\" which includes using the broom and the Swiffer mop. Students have been enjoying learning how to use the Swiffer (many had not used it before) and it helps prevent sticky messes when we collect recycling across campus. \r\n\r\nSpeaking of recycling! The large trash bags donated through this project were incredibly helpful for collecting and sorting recycling. The bags are large and super durable. We were able to raise enough money to do 2 recipes and buy air dry clay and paint to make ornaments for all the teachers who participate in our recycling program. \r\n\r\nLastly, the dry erase board erasers and spray have been SO instrumental in keeping our mini white boards and large white boards clean. Students use the small white boards daily and having the small erasers at their desks is so helpful. I was able to share some with another special ed teacher since so many came in the package. The donations through this project really helped me start off strong at my new school site and I deeply appreciate your contributions.","fullyFundedDate":1760561210426,"projectUrl":"project/cleaning-teenagers-yes-we-can/9811456/","projectTitle":"Cleaning Teenagers?

Every morning, the first thing they do is run over to check on the plants. Even though we have not reached the harvest yet, they are fascinated by how the roots grow in the water and how quickly the leaves are changing. It has turned our science lessons into a hands-on adventure. They are learning about patience too.\r\n\r\n​The color printer has also been a huge success. Before this, the students were limited in how they could share their work. Now, they have the option to create beautiful, colorful posters digitally and print them right away.

Out of all the different modes of demonstrating what they learned, they most enjoyed reading in groups. I learned that they love reading texts out loud.
