My students need science equipment so that they can better explore human body systems while reaching STEM standards. I have requested a senses kit, a synthetic blood kit refill, a sensations kit, and more.

Celebrating 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
Help us become true Medical Explorers!
I am trying to better reach my students who represent an array of learning styles and needs. It is my goal to increase the amount of science equipment used in our class so that we can better achieve STEM standards.
I teach a diverse range of 7th graders.
I have students that require remediation as well as those that need enrichment. My students are incredibly motivated and persistent in their learning, especially in science. As a second year science teacher, it is my goal to foster an appreciation for scientific inquiry while relating science and technology to the everyday and diverse lives of my students.
My Project
These resources will allow us to successfully practice science and explore human anatomy and physiology. In particular, this project will help build upon my students’ interest in the medical field. So many of my students have expressed to me that they would like to peruse a medical degree. And the amazing thing is that I can see many of them as doctors!
My students need science equipment so that they can better explore human body systems while reaching STEM standards. I have requested a senses kit, a synthetic blood kit refill, a sensations kit, two-point discriminatory, and nutrient agar media plates. Each science kit will provide my students with a hands-on approach to learning how human body systems work together to maintain homeostasis. Students will actively ask, find, and determine answers related to human biology in health and disease. I am confident that my students will begin to realize that they are scientists and that science is all around them... all the time!
In an era where college and career readiness is a prominent factor in the teaching and learning process, STEM education is becoming more and more important.
I know that my students will achieve greater learning outcomes, given access to 21st century tools and content that will encourage them to think deeply.
More than half of students from low‑income households
