My Students

My students attend a rural school district that is 100% economically disadvantaged. We are almost completely reliant on Title One funding for the largest part of our curriculum and supplies. Our school district is a K through 12 district with approximately 900 students on the eastern edge of Oklahoma.

During COVID, I learned that engaging students was more difficult than ever.

Teaching Science is what I love but learning to use different strategies became my priority. With some students in person and others learning remotely, the regular methods of education were extremely difficult to keep students on track. However, I found that the more I related the curriculum to real-life events, the better the participation became. I have now continued to use these lessons even though more of my students are back on campus this year. Project-based learning has been a huge success in my classroom.

My Project

Bring my dream learning to life and to make an upcoming Science unit more engaging, my students would love to use baseball to put into practice, lessons we have previously covered using speed, angles, and trajectory to plot in real life the speed and path of a pitcher's ball as well as distance and speed of the batter's hit.

During COVID, as a teacher, I have learned that reaching my students became more about using instructional units that incorporated real-life projects and examples.

Although COVID and its effects are still ongoing, being back on campus has allowed us to continue these types of projects in a group setting outdoors. I have personally seen how these lessons have been more meaningful to my students and provided the engagement I always wanted in my classroom.

The proposed items will help students have a better understanding of basic physics principles involving acceleration due to gravity on a projectile with a horizontal forward force. This will show the arc trajectory of any object as it could relate to crime scene investigations. Several of the proposed items for this project will help with cross curriculum exposure as well as a relationship for students to see the benefits and connection of science to everyday fun athletic activities that many students already participate in. Specifically, the radar will be used for instantaneous and average speed labs. They will create multiple data point sets using multiple baseballs thrown. situations board/journals will be used to record data sets. The cones will be used for safety zones. Stopwatches will be used for lab recordings. Display will be for all students to see from a distance without risk of injury. The gatorline will be for a elastic potential energy lab.
