Investor
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Women In Naples Giving Support (WINGS) - $270.00
Goal
The goal of this grant is to help students Investigate and describe that an unbalanced force acting on an object changes its speed, or direction of motion, or both. I hope to accomplish this by using air hover disks and Vernier Motion Detector.
What will be done with my students
Students will be able to create collisions with the hover disk and the Motion Detector uses ultrasound to measure the position, velocity, and acceleration of moving objects.Students can use the data from the Motion Detector to create graphs to help study position, velocity, and acceleration.
Benefits to my students
The benefit to the students is hands-on learning. Students will be up, moving around, and studying "real" world problems. Through the activity; students can apply their knowledge to football tackles, car crashes, and more.
Budget Narrative
When performing hands on learning; students are arranged in centers. Centers typically consist of 4 students per group. I've requested enough materials so all students will have a task.
The Motion Detectors by Vernier are found on the Vernier Website; (https://www.vernier.com/products/sensors/motion-detectors/gdx-md/). The air hover disks are found from Amazon (https://smile.amazon.com/Can-You-Imagine-Power-Soccer/dp/B003JGSIWY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=hover+puck&qid=1568987405&s=gateway&sr=8-3)
