They also love doing hands-on projects with the other supplies provided! \r\nFor example, the popsicle sticks were used for building a trebuchet in physics class, as seen in the photographs. My students told me they had a lot of fun building it, and trying to figure out how to use it to launch balls. They were all clearly engaged during that activity, even the ones who normally are reluctant to participate.\r\nThe other supplies you provided will be used for other hands-on activities this year, such as a Pringles Drop in physics, and writing Proofs with UNO in math class. I'm sure that these activities will be very engaging to them, as they provide unique learning opportunities which deviate from the usual note-taking and worksheet completion.\r\nThanks again so much for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1789569605886,"projectUrl":"project/stem-class-supplies/10584541/","projectTitle":"STEM Class Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kanekal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10646802"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96538","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":164,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":96538,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North County Trade Technical High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North County Trade Technical High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/vista-unified-school-district/north-co-trade-tech-high-school/96538"}
