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

Many students have been neglected in the area of science the last few years due to Covid -19 online teaching of science. I was forced to teach many abstract concepts on power points, but lacked any hands on application. The purpose of this proposal is to ensure that students have fun re-learning concepts in fun and structured classroom that allows for new learning that is aligned to the Arizona State Science Standards. Each of these activities will be used in conjunction with a lesson to ensure learning and to reignite the passion for science learning.
