We swap desks around and change up seats every month so students get to try different seating arrangements and discover what they need to focus and engage. Allowing students these choices and changing the arrangements keeps students excited about coming to class. That is a big part of the apathy battle we fight as teachers. If students are willing to come to class they will usually be willing to learn.

I love thinking that he went home to put that puzzle together instead of surfing social media. \r\nOther teachers found out I did this grant and we have been swapping puzzles so that the kids always have new puzzles.

By having access to the calculators at home they could practice and be better familiar with the functions of the calculator prior to the exam. And it removed the stress of borrowing one on Saturday morning. Students gained the opportunity to be familiar and more comfortable when testing.\r\n\r\nDuring our lessons in Geometry on Angle Pair relationships and Angles in Triangles, the colored task cards helped differentiate for the students which provided context and real life view of the scenarios.

They have to write it in a proper paragraph form citing their sources,the same way a historian would do.\r\n\r\nMy students loved receiving these notebooks.

These types of experiences are especially invaluable in our setting, where access to advanced lab resources is limited.\r\n\r\nYour kindness not only enriches our classroom but also inspires a love for science and discovery in our students.

With this kit, students are able to collect data on position, velocity, acceleration, and force using the dynamic cart's built-in sensors. The dynamic carts are Bluetooth-enabled devices which allow students to collect real time data without the need for additional expensive equipment, cumbersome wires or complicated connections. Students use the Graphical Analysis app to collect data in real time and can then analyze a wide variety of graphs such as position, velocity, acceleration and force graphs. Students often struggle to read and interpret graphs, but with the dynamic track system it helps them to see the relationship between the motion on the track and the graph generated on the computer screen. Students really enjoy the experience in the physics lab and it helps to build their confidence to potentially pursue a STEM field career. \r\n\r\nWith the Dynamics Cart & Track System I was able to challenge my students to determine how much hanging mass was required to transport their cargo a distance of one meter in a specified amount of time.
