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.

I am a 6th year Science Teacher at Central High school in Bridgeport, CT. I was an engineer for 10 years before switching into teaching and I use my engineering experience to show my students how physics relates to the real world. My students are great, smart, curious, hardworking students. They are all 11th and 12th graders. The high school is an urban high school, with 95% of the students qualifying for free meals.

We do not have much money for lab equipment and my students deserve to be able to do high quality labs in their Physics class.

I am requesting lab kits for my Physics classes. One is a fuel cell lab kit that will allow my students to investigate this very promising new technology. The other lab kits will allow my students to explore ballistic pendulums, magnetic fields, and sound interference. These topics are all very important topics and the labs will help my students learn the concepts.

Your help will ensure that my students will be able to investigate the concepts of physics in the lab so that they may better understand these concepts. They will also gain experience in high level labs to help prepare them for college.
