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 Students

I get the fantastic opportunity to work with a wide range of students as I am a long-term science sub for my school district. I fill in for a teacher for several weeks to several months at the time and I get to take over their class. My students, no matter where I go, love to use technology and investigate the world around them by using manipulatives and other physical tools we can use in labs.

My students are at an age that they benefit the most from visual demonstrations and group interaction time.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the way that students work and interact with peers and teachers has changed, and they need to proper tools and resources to make that happen.

My Project

Life science, especially biology, can be a confusing concept to many students. Understanding it can be akin to learning a new language with it's vast unique terms. By using visual examples, students will be able to master content knowledge and will be able to make connections to the world around them.

Students by nature are inquisitive, they want to figure out the why and how to everything, the materials provided to this project will give them that opportunity.

Learning about mitosis and meiosis teaches them how cells formed. The 3D cell kits give students give the students a visual of what the various organelles are by having them build the cell themselves. The skeleton gives a starting point into teaching the anatomy of the human body. These student's deserve the best we can give them, these resources can help in endeavor.
