Students in P2 Special Topics Science are beginning their own scientific research endeavors! As students complete their background research and move into thoughtful experiment design we will be needing some specialty equipment. We are reaching out to families to see if anyone in the community would be interested in donating or lending us some of the necessary equipment. Check the garage, brush off the dust, and help make science happen! Here are the studies we’re doing and the items we are looking for:

• Star-navigation: functional+precise sextant

• Physics of flight: small/slow RC planes, materials to build wings

• Colors and emotions: colored-lens glasses?

• Watch/clock repair: vintage pocket watch or mechanical clock

• Sleep: active sleep goggles (lights, sound, etc generation). Used fitbits/etc that can track sleep or body temperature.

• Neuroscience: EEG sensors… I think we will need to buy these, but you might want one for yourself and could share with the school (Muse, Neurosky, and even Smith sunglasses have models).

The window for donations closes on Friday, October 20th. If you’ve got any questions or are ready to donate please contact: Brian Gehring, gehring_brian@asdk12.org
