Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Students learn best by doing. Many of our students are English Language Learners. One of the best techniques educators can use to help these students master science concepts is to provide hands on labs.

Our population is 91% Hispanic, with 92.6% socioeconomically disadvantaged and 39.1% are English Learners.

In order to reach these EL students it is important to provide real, relevant and challenging labs that will help students completely understand various science concepts.

My Project

This equipment will allow young scientists to test a variety of blade designs, generate electricity, and lift weights (Engineering). The Basic Wind Experiment Kit has all the materials we need to get started understanding the power of renewable energy and wind power. Science teachers will provide the wind, basic tools, and students will only need their imaginations and natural curiosity. This equipment will be great for 6th-8th grade classrooms and groups, and individual science fair projects.

This project is a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) based project that explores the impact of renewable energy generation.

Science lessons using the STEM model ensure that our current and future students are receiving a 21st century education that properly prepares them for the real world. Studies show that students exposed to STEM education practices are more likely to take more challenging classes in high school and college.
