Eco and Energy to Support After School Research.

Help me give my students healthy snacks to support our project study and office hours learning after school. During the research hours, students will use the microwave to warm up warm water or heat their food/snacks.

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 small group of scientists needs some support for their learning after school hours. This curious young scientist needs energy and saves our planet Earth simultaneously. During this time, we need a microwave to heat our food, snacks, or hot drinks. Sometimes, during our research, we must access a microwave to heat some substances.

Moreover, we are considering how to support our planet and reduce the amount of plastic bottles on our planet.

For this reason, we requested the Brita water dispenser, paper cups, and the dispenser for cups to support our plan to save our climate on Earth. We believe we can participate in the plan to save our planet and drive against the climate change crisis.

As an instructor in science class, I used to provide my students with water bottles, and we considered it the wrong way and turned to the pollution of our planet. Now, our students have an idea of using the water in our building to turn it into a healthy resource and will make our plan bright by using fewer plastic bottles in our classroom.
