I have a very diverse group of 11th and 12th grade students. Many of these students work after school and/or engaged in sports and band as well as other extra curricular activities. My school and my administrators are very supportive of us teachers in terms of allowing us to be creative and innovative in designing engaging lessons and activities, but with a large number of students and Physics classes we have in our school, we don't have enough materials and equipment to support the hands-on activities we want to incorporate in our classes on a regular basis.
Due to lack of resources and lab equipment, our science programs struggle to attract many students to take Science courses. The students want to be in Science classes that allow them to not only learn the theory in class but also to apply what the inquiry skills in an actual lab with concrete materials in order for the students to transfer these problem solving skills in real life setting.
