Celebrating 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
The headphones will allow students with learning disabilities or who struggle with reading to access oral administration. The stream table will provide a hands-on way of making and seeing how rivers help shape the landscape. It will give the students a way of seeing a process that would typically take millions of years in a matter of a day. The water cycle model will allow students to watch the water cycle in real time, but on a smaller scale, to see the cycle fully.
