These materials have brought our physical science and engineering units to an exciting new level.\r\n\r\nStudents have already begun building and testing model structures on the shake tables to explore how earthquakes affect buildings. The rocket kits have sparked huge excitement—students are learning about forces and motion as they assemble and prepare their rockets for launch day. The wave demonstrators and timers have helped make our labs more accurate and hands-on, while the ENGINO kits have allowed students to design bridges, understand Newton's laws, and experiment with real engineering challenges.\r\n\r\nThese resources will continue to support upcoming projects in engineering, motion, and energy, giving students meaningful, memorable, and engaging STEM experiences.

These tools have already made a big difference in our hands-on physics lessons.\r\n\r\nStudents are using the spring scales to measure force and friction during our motion unit, and the wave demonstrators have helped them finally visualize how waves move. The energy balls have been a huge hit—students immediately formed circles to test conductivity, laughing and experimenting as the balls lit up and buzzed.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use all three materials in a rotating lab activity to explore forces, waves, and energy transfer. Your support has made our lessons more interactive, engaging, and memorable.

Our students have already been using the pendulum kits, Newton's Cradles, gyroscope, and hover-orb drones in our motion and energy unit, and they've completely changed the way students experience science.\r\n\r\nWhen we first opened the boxes, the class lit up. Students immediately gathered around the Newton's Cradles to test momentum transfer and took turns spinning the heavy-duty gyroscope to see how it stayed balanced. The hover-orb drones were a huge hit—they sparked laughter, curiosity, and lots of questions about forces and motion even before the lesson officially began.\r\n\r\nThese tools have helped students move from simply reading about physics concepts to observing them firsthand. Many students who are usually quiet became more engaged and excited to participate.","fullyFundedDate":1759087562858,"projectUrl":"project/learning-physics/9763165/","projectTitle":"Learning Physics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. D.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/415043"},{"teacherId":9743806,"projectId":9883084,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom through this project. The new materials have already brought so much joy to my students. When they first saw the games, they were excited, laughing, and immediately asking when we could play together. It was such a wonderful moment to witness, and it reminded me how much small, meaningful things can brighten their day.\r\n\r\nAlthough we don't use the games every day, they've become a special part of our classroom routine. Whenever we bring them out, it creates a chance for the students to unwind, connect with each other, and take a break from the stress that school can sometimes bring. I've loved seeing them work together, cheer for one another, and build stronger relationships through play. These moments have truly made our classroom community feel even closer.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity. Your support has given my students something they genuinely look forward to a positive, fun way to bond and enjoy time together.

Notes and taking notes is an important part of the learning in the classroom and with the materials that I was able to purchase the students were able to produce quality notes. The new resources have already become an essential part of our daily learning. We've incorporated them into hands-on labs, small-group activities, and independent practice—and every day they open new doors for students who are hungry to explore.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just supply materials—it sparked curiosity. Students who were usually quiet became leaders during group tasks. Others who often feel discouraged lit up when the new tools helped them finally grasp a concept that had been challenging.

Lots of \"whoa!\" and \"that's what it actually looks like?\" It immediately sparked curiosity and meaningful discussion about body composition, fitness, and health.\r\n\r\nWe've been using these models in my Principles of Athletic Performance class to help students better understand the difference between fat and muscle, and how training and nutrition impact the body. During a recent lesson, students compared the two models and then calculated their own body composition estimates, applying what they learned to set realistic fitness goals.\r\n\r\nThese resources have made our lessons so much more hands-on and engaging. Students can now visualize the concepts we talk about, rather than just reading about them. Next, we'll be connecting this lesson to nutrition—students will analyze how their food choices support muscle growth and recovery.\r\n\r\nI'm so grateful for these materials; they've truly brought science and fitness to life in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1752187441741,"projectUrl":"project/sports-nutrition/9251066/","projectTitle":"Sports Nutrition","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pierce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9743806"},{"teacherId":8636801,"projectId":9656284,"letterContent":"When my students first saw the new supplies, their excitement was immediate. The colorful pens, markers, and paper instantly drew them in, and they couldn't wait to start using everything. It was such a joy to see how something as simple as fresh materials could spark so much energy and creativity in the classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the first projects we completed with these supplies was an artistic rendition of the unit circle. Students worked in small groups to design vibrant and accurate representations, labeling angles and coordinates while adding their own creative flair. Some groups used color-coding to highlight special angles, while others illustrated real-world connections to trigonometry. It was incredible to watch math and art blend together so seamlessly.\r\n\r\nOur next steps will build on this momentum as we explore trigonometric functions more deeply. Students will use their unit circle designs to support graphing activities, problem-solving, and group presentations. Your generosity has made our classroom feel more vibrant and hands-on, and it has truly elevated the way my students engage with mathematics.
