  • Forces and Momentum

    Funded Dec 15, 2023

    Thank you for all your donations! The project is fully funded. The students will have new lab equipments that will lead them to be STEM learners. They will be able to not just practice physics but be able to apply it to real life situations. Thanks to your generous donations, students will be life long learners and hopefully pursue a career in STEM.”

  • Technology and Science

    Funded Aug 29, 2021

    Thank you for donating to LaGuardia HS Physics students. The materials donated such has helped students better at physics, AP physics and STEM subjects. Students were able to calculate Physics problems that are related to stimulation and Newton's Law's of motion using these materials. Students get real world experience and get help with higher level learning strategies and experiences.

    The materials also helped the student practice more problems and work one-on-one on the problems at hand. The students greatly appreciate these materials. We use the materials in physics to visualize some of the problems at hand. It allows students who aren't exposed to all these materials, to feel prepared and ready.

    Students loved the materials when they received it. They had sparks in their eyes seeing the new materials to work with. They were showing each other how they can use the tablets. It was a candid moment. Thank you for the the donations.

    Thank you for helping my students grow and succeed.”

  • Math in Physics

    Funded Aug 31, 2019

    Thank you for donating to LaGuardia HS Physics students. The technology donated such as calculators and printer has helped students better at math and STEM subjects. Some students can't afford the calculators and need it for test and computing Physic problems. Sometimes the battery dies, so students get to use the calculators that were donated. Students get real world experience and get help with higher level learning strategies and experiences.

    The printer helps me print worksheet that helps the student practice more problems and work one-on-one on the problems at hand. It gives them more articles to read and printed. They get copies of worksheets and test and other extra reading. I can print at a higher zoom level for special students who need large printed test.

    The students greatly appreciate the posters. We use the posters in physics to visualize some of the problems at hand. It allows students who aren't exposed to all these materials, to feel prepared and ready.

    Thank you for helping my students grow and succeed.”

  • Physics of Life

    Funded Oct 9, 2017

    The computer provided is a great source of technology to the students because it helped in momentum calculation of velocity and time provided on the air track. The computer is also able to provide PowerPoint slides, notes, videos, and demonstration online to the student which helps the students better understand the lesson plan. The students were able to see different videos on momentum including Bill Nye the science guy on the projection screen. They are also able to see different visuals of concepts in physics such as forces, friction, impulse, and energy. They are able to see how energy can be better used and conserved rather then wasted or lost.

    Projects were able to be done the concept of momentum in which student displayed how the use of cars with elastic collision applied to formulate the recoil velocity. The students were very excited to use these new products with the laptop in order to visualize such challenging and thought-provoking physics problems are were easily visualized by the laptop.

    This technology was very helpful to those students that are proposed as special-education with special needs. These students were able to envision and consume the information easily. These students have difficulty retaining the information just by speaking but rather need many visual aids.”

In order to calculate the velocity of a moving ball on a track, students need the laptop to measure the speed of two air-track gliders. The speedometer needs to be connected to the glider and the laptop so the program can pick up the time of the gliders. Then, students will measure the distance and therefore, measure the speed by using the physics formula for velocity. They will also be able to measure the momentum of the cars. Students will measure the mass and velocity in order to see conservation of momentum. Students will apply their knowledge of physics and visual aids and will become better learners from using the laptop. They will be able to see real life examples on the computer of momentum and velocity by watching videos. They will also use the online PhET simulations to better understand the hard concepts of physics. The simulations will also be used as labs to earn hours for state accreditation to graduate high school.
