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

Do you remember the excitement of being in a lab and performing experiments to find the answer to a question? Wasn't it even more exciting when you took charge of your own learning and were able to design and perform your own experiment? By providing our classroom with magnetic stir plates and sugar, students will be able to design and conduct controlled experiments while learning about the process of cellular respiration. With the magnetic stir plates, students can precisely control reaction conditions, ensuring a rigorous examination of variables. Students will explore the impact of different variables on cellular respiration rates, fostering a deep understanding of independent and dependent variables and the importance of controlled experimentation. We are requesting Magnetic Stirrer Stainless Steel Magnetic Mixers and Cane Sugar.

Your support for this project will not only provide the necessary tools for hands-on science but also pave the way for students to develop crucial data analysis skills.

By manipulating variables such as stir speed, amount of sugar, and water temperature and analyzing the resulting rates of cellular respiration, students will engage in meaningful scientific inquiry. Furthermore, the project encourages collaborative learning as students will collect, share, and collectively analyze data, honing their skills in interpreting experimental outcomes. Your contribution will empower our students to become proficient in the scientific process and cultivate a lifelong love for inquiry-based learning.
