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

Accelerate learning about biology and health on a microscopic level. It allows students a hands-on approach to looking at cells with detail that is impossible except under a microscope. It will enrich learning about their bodies and how they work. Promote health and wellness for a lifetime."Accelerate learning about biology and health at a microscopic level with a hands-on approach to observing cells in detail, which is not possible without a microscope. This will enhance students' understanding of their bodies and how they function, promoting health and wellness throughout their lives."
