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

Science lessons including tools and materials that transform lessons, making them memorable and relevant, make the biggest impact.

This project includes items such as the energy sticks that will help our students learn about open and closed electrical circuits as they model an electrical circuit with classmates.

The lightbulbs and lamps will help model light and heat energy as we compare melting chocolate indoors with lightbulbs, compared to the heat energy of the sun. Other materials, such as the paper cups and construction paper, will help us solve engineering challenges.
