My Students

My students are always eager to help. Whether it is a classmate in need or a global problem, I am always happy to see them care about doing the right thing. When I accidentally throw paper into the trashcan, they will remind me that it could go in the recycling bin.

My goal as a teacher is to give my students the tool they will need to create a better world in the future.

As a physics teacher, some of the most important concepts that I must teach them are energy and electricity. The search for clean and efficient energy will lead to many opportunities for careers in STEM fields. My students have the passion for living green, so I want to give them the knowledge.

My students really need tangible, goal-oriented projects. They learn best when their hands are busy. They also learn better through experiences than notetaking. If they can leave my room saying "that was a cool experience" that is a big deal to me, and it's a bigger deal to them.

My Project

Hands on is always the best way to learn. Snap Circuits make it easy for students to quickly assemble and disassemble all kinds of electrical circuits. Students can quickly turn a diagram into a real life circuit without any clumsy wires or dangerous soldering. Students can then use a digital multimeter to measure amperage, voltage, and resistance over different parts of the circuit.

By quickly assembling circuits and taking simple measurments, students can discover important physics equations like Ohm's Law and make their own conclusions about how resistors behave in series and parallel circuits.

Students can then get creative, designing their own circuits and making predictions about what the multimeter will read. By allowing students to discover these properties, rather than lecturing about them, the knowledge becomes more real and leaves a lasting impression.

Teaching students about electrical energy is especially important in a world where the development of clean, renewable energy is vital to the health of our planet. Students with a working knowledge of concepts like current or voltage will enable them to make green choices in their own lives.
