Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hands-on learning with students working with data is one of my major goals. Although we are surrounded by light, students rarely get to interact with it in an intellectual way - especially in math!

These light and sensor probes will allow me to provide my students with hands-on, data experiences as we look at the math that describes the behavior of light.

We will use the sensors to measure how the intensity of light changes with distance AND explore reflectivity. Although these are concepts which most students understand intuitively, the sensors will help them to learn the practical math behind those concepts.

The sensors will also see a lot of use in the Earth Science courses where students will explore insolation (related to seasons), albedo (related to climate change) and intensity. The equipment also opens the door to us exploring the math and science behind solar panels. Please consider helping to provide some powerful learning experiences for our students.
