Pocket labs is a hands-on learning system (that is also remote-ready) that brings labs and lessons to life with the ease of data collection, analysis and presentation. The kits that we are requesting will allow my students to have a direct learning experience with the science concepts that I teach and will play a large role in making science more fun for my students and with helping them believe in their ability to "Do Science." These materials would help them be independent in the classroom with inquiry and help me give my students a learning experience consistent with the current state-of-the-art in the physics of motion, forces, energy and waves. My students will develop their own experiments, readily collect and use their data to create and test their own ideas about physics concepts we explore and discuss in class. We can then refine their theories during group discussions by thinking critically about their experimental results. This also supports the NGSS standards and practices.
