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

The "Exploring Simple Scientific Experiments" project will be carried out to foster students' curiosity and interest in science. By performing simple experiments, students can understand fundamental scientific concepts in a practical and participatory way. This approach will allow them to not only learn about scientific phenomena but also develop critical thinking, observation, and analysis skills.

Additionally, by conducting experiments, students will be able to directly experience the scientific process, from formulating hypotheses to collecting and analyzing data.

This will give them a deeper understanding of how scientific research is carried out and allow them to apply the scientific method in a practical and accessible environment. We are requesting a hydroponics kit, composition notebooks, a human body model, a fossil kit, and other hands-on materials for science experiments.

In summary, this project's main objective is to awaken the scientific curiosity of students, encourage their active participation in the scientific process, and promote meaningful learning through practical experimentation.

Mrs. L, Rivas will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 25.

Mrs. L, Rivas
Grades 3-5
