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

Our Weather and Climate Materials Project brings science to life through hands-on learning! Using interactive tools and engaging activities, students explore the differences between weather and climate, track local weather patterns, analyze global climate data, and investigate the causes and effects of extreme weather events. With access to materials like thermometers, barometers, weather maps, and digital resources, students build critical thinking skills as they collect data, make predictions, and present their findings. This project fosters curiosity and a deeper understanding of how Earth's atmosphere works—empowering students to become informed observers of the world around them.
