My Project

The items in this project are things that I would love for my students to experience, but I have always prioritized other items. Now I want my students to have those extra items and get more memorable hands-on physics experience!

Physics is Fun!

and I truly hope that my students remember everything they learn inside my classroom, but sometimes they need to get out of the classroom or see a new example of how stuff works!

The happy/sad bouncy balls are great as an introductory phenomenon to energy, the Euler's disk is a mesmerizing demonstration of low friction surfaces, the foam darts will help to replace missing supplies for projectile labs, the chalk markers will help to show clearer color diagrams/examples on the whiteboard in class, the water balloon launcher is an exciting way to show outdoor projectiles during fair weather, and the additional BeeSpi timer will give our class a way to measure a second data point for many different types of motion labs.
