What’s Happening at Bedford High School?
Craig Sheil/Bedford High School
Look closely at this photograph to see GREAT use of both low tech and high tech in a high school classroom. Students in one of Scott Sarsfield's math classes are analyzing data collected on the motion of a pendulum. The pendulum is swinging from the ruler hanging off the edge of the table in the top right of the photo. Students collect data directly on the whiteboard table, and perform initial calculations by hand. Next, the students use a free graphing calculator program called “Desmos” on their chromebook to enter in data to analyze what the graph looks like. All of this work with pendulums reinforces the laws of nature (physics) and the link between mathematical formulas and graphs.
