Your generosity is helping to bring hands-on learning to life in a powerful way.\r\n\r\nWith these new supplies, my students will be designing and building their own machines—projects that require them to think critically, plan thoughtfully, and troubleshoot creatively. These are not just science lessons; they are opportunities for students to engage deeply with the learning process and develop essential skills that go far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThrough teamwork and collaboration, students will learn how to communicate effectively, share responsibilities, and support one another's ideas. As they apply principles of physics in tangible, meaningful ways, they'll also begin to see how science connects to the world around them—transforming abstract concepts into real-world understanding.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students will gain not only a stronger grasp of scientific concepts but also confidence, perseverance, and a sense of ownership over their learning. These experiences will stay with them long after the project ends, impacting their success in school and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1746540362393,"projectUrl":"project/physics-at-play-rube-goldberg-machines/9143804/","projectTitle":"Physics at Play: Rube Goldberg Machines Unleashed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stewart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2314190_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y262&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741274229363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mikistewart"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79091","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":735,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.9,"schoolId":79091,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Spring Lake Elementary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Spring Lake Elementary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/omaha-public-schools/spring-lake-magnet-elementary-school/79091"}
