My students were thrilled to unpack and use the RC Car and the Remote Control Airplane.

We ran out of time in class so several students gave up their free time before lunch to come back into my class and experiment more. Also, the radiation detector was very well received. We have several older samples of Uranium rock and the detector immediately beeped when in the vicinity. The students were excited and immediately started asking questions. \r\nThank you again for your wonderful donations and for helping my students understand how exciting Physics can be!","fullyFundedDate":1753852162863,"projectUrl":"project/cool-way-to-start-the-year/9414449/","projectTitle":"Cool Way to Start the Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Armstrong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp398499_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448478904541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carder"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11747","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":480,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":68.1,"schoolId":11747,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mineola High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mineola High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/mineola-independent-school-district/mineola-high-school/11747"}
