Identification: Please give your Name & Name of School where you work or where you intend to use the grant money.

Kathy Swahn, Sandy Run Middle School 

Specific Aim / Goal: A few sentences on the educational goal / outcome for your students and how this is made possible by equipment/supplies purchased with mini-grant.

Describe how voltage difference causes current to flow, describe the difference between series and parallel circuits, recognize the function of circuit breakers and fuses, describe the magnetic field produced by an electric current, explain how a magnet exerts a force, describe properties of magnets, and describe how electromagnets are used, and explain how an electric motor operates. 

Proposal: Brief description of how you plan to use the equipment in your classroom to reach your educational goal.

I plan to use the laboratory kits listed below to encourage more hands on inquiry learning with my electricity and magnetism units. I will be able to cover content that I did not cover in the past due to the lack of lab supplies. 

Equipment: Description of the equipment you plan to purchase.
