Shout Out to Ms. Vogel's Science Students!!
Recently, Ms. Vogel contacted me about how helpful this site has been for her students. I'm so happy that this site is being used by lots of students to become more educated about science and the world around us. Teens are the future leaders of our country, and I'm excited that this group of students are working so hard to prepare themselves to be leaders.
Ms. Vogel's group wanted to share another resource that they use a lot as a thank you. This website has a great way of teaching about the basics of physics. Thanks for sharing guys!
