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 goal for this project is to restock some much essential items that students will need throughout the school year! In our science classroom, students use a variety of supplies to explore and understand the world around them. With lab equipment like microscopes, beakers, and test tubes, they conduct experiments that bring textbook concepts to life, from observing cell structures to testing chemical reactions. Hands-on activities with these materials foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as students hypothesize, test, and analyze their findings. Whether they're building models to understand molecular structures or coloring diagrams to deepen their learning, these supplies are essential for engaging students in real-world applications of science, preparing them for future academic and career pursuits.
