Project Overview
Explore the science of sound by creating a simple communication device using cups and string. Dr. Eva explains how sound waves travel and how their properties can be demonstrated with this classic experiment.
Problem
Understanding how sound travels through different mediums can be challenging for young students.
Challenge
Build a functional cup and string telephone and explain how sound waves travel through the string to communicate.
Solution
The project provides simple instructions to create the device and conduct experiments to understand sound wave properties.

Adjunct Professor of Physics
At the annual New Jersey Science Convention as well as for the National Science Teaching Association national and regional conferences, I had the opportunity to participate in her presentations at these venues, and was impressed with the practical and easily implemented science lessons she shared. I know that Eva is bringing her high level of enthusiasm and energy, her love of both teaching and science, and her ability to keep abreast of the latest developments in science education to help prepare the teachers of tomorrow.

At the K-12 level, I was always impressed with Dr. Ogens' ability to not only provide professional development for the math and science teachers, but to involve parents in the understanding of science across the districts she served. She has a keen understanding of curriculum and I am positive she shares her insights with students, making her a professional who cannot just discuss science education from a theoretical point of view, but from a realistic and practical way as well.

I just wanted to share an exciting lesson I conducted thanks to your class last semester. Typically, science at my placement is limited to 30-minute worksheets, but today I took my second graders outside to our 'natural playground' for a hands-on engineering challenge. They had to build a shelter with limited materials and adapt it for wind and rain. The students were fully engaged, making connections to the engineering design process naturally. My supervising teacher praised the activity, and the students expressed how much fun they had, with one even saying, "I didn't know science could be fun!" Thank you for teaching me how to make science enjoyable and meaningful!

18 middle school teachers participated in the 2017 MPS Summer Institute led by Dr. Ogens, where they learned about implementing 21st century science connections in their classrooms aligned with NGSS standards. Participants praised Dr. Ogens' teaching style, knowledge, and expertise, reporting that they learned a great deal from the variety of units and activities offered.

After taking Methods with Professor Ogens at Ramapo College, I am not afraid to teach science because I feel that the skills I have acquired through this course has prepared me to be applicable to any challenge. The way Professor Ogens has modeled how a science class should be taught; is how I hope to teach my students.

Dr. Ogens is great! She really cares about us and our learning. She always went out of her way for us.

I recommend Dr. Eva Ogens without reservation. Her expertise, guidance, and support helped shape into the educator I am today. I am confident she will continue to shape the future of educators for years to come.
