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

My kindergarteners absolutely love learning about science. They especially love using the scientific method to come up with awesome predictions and then test them out. We have been studying all about energy, forces, and motion. They have been super creative in designing a rollercoaster that will use all of the different kinds of energy and forces to create movement! It would be amazing for them to be able to actually build their drawings.

They have been working very hard and developing many drafts in order to create a rollercoaster.

This will use everything they have learned to make their ball go from one end of their rollercoaster to the other..
