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.

I teach high school chemistry to 10th, 11th, and 12th graders in a high-need community in southern California.

Without calculators, students are faced with the frustrating and time consuming challenge of solving complex logarithms, multiplying and dividing large exponents, and trying to accurately complete dimensional analysis on long series of values and units, all in their heads. This takes away from the chemistry they would otherwise be able to focus in on.

Scientific calculators include all the functions necessary to solve chemistry problems which will allow students to be able to complete more interesting and complex problems sets that use numbers that relate to the real world as well as hands on lab experiments that require calculations and graphing

Your help will ensure that my students have the opportunity to gain a more in depth understanding of chemistry that will better prepare them for the college education that they deserve.
