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.

My Students

My Physics students are the best! They have such positive attitudes and personalities.

Our school's vision statement of "As we build on traditions of the past, we expect and accept nothing but the best" says it all.

We have a beautiful mountain range and a history that is unique to the state and it sets the backdrop for us each day. Our students have many life-altering challenges to go through but continue to push through. Our student population is one of the most impacted populations in our state. With a very high level of students on the free-or-reduced-price lunch program, there can be many challenges to learning that many other students don't even have to consider.

But we have an outstanding faculty, administration, and support staff that work tirelessly to help our students succeed and do their best. We embrace our vision and embrace growth in Academics, Citizenship, and Extra-Curricular Activities.

My Project

Time and time again the research tells us that science should be hands-on. A giant part of Physics is the study of motion (kinematics). Students often calculate the speed, acceleration, or forces acting on some inanimate object like a ball, or a car. Wouldn't it be more fun for students to calculate their own speed and acceleration?

This timer would allow students to calculate their own speed, acceleration, or force instead of just calculating it for some random object.

We have a large commons area (and plenty of outdoor fields too!) where we will set up this timer. Students will take turns running, walking, jumping, etc., through a designated course that begins and ends with this timer system. The system will send the information to each students' tablet (we have a class set). The students can then use that data to come up with lots of information including velocity, acceleration, and force. While they are using their minds, they are also getting exercise!
