World Explorers in Need of Materials

My students need materials for experiments, like an optics kit, an electromagnet kit, a Hooke's Law apparatus and more, to explore concepts in Physics.

My Students

At what angle does a kicker need to launch a football in order to gain maximum yardage? It's this type of questioning that has fired up my seniors to explore the world through Physics. My students are eager to figure out how the world works

I teach Physics to a select group of seniors in rural Mississippi.

Our community is low-income and 100% of students receive free lunch. Many of them aspire to attend college to earn a degree, while others are determined to serve in our nation's armed forces or play a professional sport. Despite the diversity of these ambitious goals, my students know that a strong background in science will provide them the critical thinking skills that they need to achieve those ambitious dreams.

My Project

The resources requested will allow my students to truly explore Physics. To study motion without actually being able to see and touch and move objects is practically impossible. Determined as my students are, we've used whatever supplies we can to delve into subjects like projectile motion, including making projectile launchers from Popsicle sticks and duct tape! However, some of our upcoming units will prove more difficult with basic everyday objects. I have requested a spring set that will allow my students to see and measure Hooke's law. I've also requested a Collisions kit that will enable them to analyze real-world events, as well as a kit to create simple machines. With these tools my students will develop a deeper understanding of how the world moves. The Fundamental Electronics Kit will give my students a chance to manipulate an electrical current in a safe space. These materials will make Physics real and tangible to my students in a way that would otherwise be impossible.

This project will give my students a much needed chance to learn Physics by doing Physics.

It will allow them to use their brains to discover how their world works in everyday situations. And, because these materials are all re-usable, they will benefit not only the 5 students that I currently teach, but all of the Physics students to come.
