Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in how we engage with science, especially through the use of graphing calculators.\r\n\r\nIn our class, graphing calculators have become essential tools for exploring real-world scientific concepts. My students use them to calculate and graph relationships between speed, distance, and time during motion labs. We also analyze the work done by simple machines and evaluate how variables like force and distance interact. When studying materials like concrete, students graph test data to examine strength under different conditions, helping them understand engineering principles through hands-on experimentation. This year, my students were part of a NASA moon challenge and we used the graphing calculators in that project as well. \r\n\r\nThese calculators empower students to visualize data, make predictions, and understand complex relationships in a way that deepens both their curiosity and comprehension. It's been exciting to watch their confidence grow as they use real tools to solve real problems.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for making this possible. Your support helps bring science to life in our classroom every day.","fullyFundedDate":1735046401456,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-stem-success-with-graphing-ca/9014092/","projectTitle":"Empowering STEM Success With Graphing Calculators","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hibbert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8667620_orig.png?crop=559,559,x76,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715018600659","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8667620"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39539","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":105,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":28.6,"schoolId":39539,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Big Piney Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Big Piney Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wyoming/sublette-county-school-district-9/big-piney-middle-school/39539"}
