Glitter, Photographs, and Plants Inspire Our Love of Science

Help me give my students materials for science experiments (glitter, tacky glue, water-color paint, click-and-grow indoor planters, click-and-grow seed pods) and an Intax camera with accessories (film and photo albums) to keep visual records of the experiments.

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 Students

I work with high school students. Many of my students are experiencing life stressors including financial and emotional challenges and I do my best to help and support them.

Our school believes in a wrap-around approach to helping them succeed.

I support them and encourage them to succeed alongside a wonderful team of teachers who put student needs above all else.

My Project

I can’t wait to have my students engage in experiments with liquids and solid items. We will put warm water, tacky glue, water color paint chips and glitter in one bottle. In another bottle we’ll put water and glitter and make observations of how the glitter acts having to only travel in one liquid versus the bottle with the glue where the liquid is more viscous having the glue added on. The students will take the glitter bottles home and they can use the glitter bottles as a claiming too. We want to have an indoor garden to make observations of how plants grow and what plants need to thrive. We will grow seeds of cilantro, basil and strawberries in the Click and Grow planters. We will use the Intax Camera to take pictures and keep visual records in picture form of the growth cycle.

Glitter, tacky glue, Click and Grow Planters have heat lamps and a self-water system and the click and grow seed pods are materials for our science lessons; the Intax Camera, film and photo albums are materials to help us keep visual records and then we will make class albums.

Thank you for supporting my fundraiser and thank you for caring about our youth. It’s exciting when students engage in learning thru hands on experiences and I’m glad we’ll be able to get the materials for these experiments to inspire my students love for science!
