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 Project

My scholars are in fifth grade and are eager to learn new science concepts. This year we are asking for a couple of triple beam balances.

The students will benefit greatly by having the triple beams balances to experience the hands on tasks of measuring the mass of different objects.

The best way to increase science measuring skills is to practice using science tools, and these triple beam balances will continue to help my students grow stronger in measuring matter. My students already have shown an astonishing interest with the concept of science, and this project will only help enrich their experiences.
