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 Students

I teach a diverse range of 7th and 8th graders. I have students that require remediation as well as those that need enrichment. My students are incredibly motivated and persistent in their learning, especially in science. It is my goal to foster an appreciation for scientific inquiry while relating science and technology to the everyday and diverse lives of my students.

I am trying to better reach my students who represent an array of learning styles and needs.

It is my goal to increase the amount of science equipment so that we can better achieve STEM standards and be college and career ready!

My Project

These resources will allow us to successfully practice science and explore human anatomy and physiology. In particular, this project will help build upon my students’ interest in the medical field. So many of my students have expressed to me that they would like to pursue a medical degree. The amazing thing is that I can see many of them as doctors! My students need science equipment so that they can better explore human body systems while reaching STEM standards. I have requested urinalysis hydrometers so that students can test normal and abnormal simulated urine specimens and determine probable disorders.
