My Project

Many Physics experiments require that student groups have access to weight sets. The weight sets that we use contain 10-15 metal cylinders that range from 2 grams up to 1 kg. Most weight sets that I currently use are durable and have lasted many years. With these additional weight sets, we can form smaller lab groups so more students will experience better access to these Physics lab investigations: Static/Kinetic Friction; Forces in Elevators; Friction and Inclined Planes; Mechanical Advantage of Simple Machines; Centripetal Force; Mass: Inertial and Gravitational.

Support that public schools receive through DonorsChoose programs is making a great impact on improving the classroom science lab environment in these trying economic times.

The greatest benefit that will come to my students is an improved, inspiring Physics lab experience that prepares them to pursue science in their colleges and careers. To maintain the lab experience for my students, our school must rely on and survive on donations and grants. We truly appreciate anything you can do! Thanks.
