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

The stopwatches, thermometers and graduated cylinders are an essential part missing in our science investigations. We need your help getting these materials so we can truly engage in hands on experiences while investigating real phenomena in our science class. The stopwatches are needed to collect data as students investigate chemical reactions and the phases of matter. The thermometer strips are needed to make observations as the temperature drops and rises and the graduated cylinders will also allow my students to understand the importance of accuracy when engaging in science and mathematical experiences involving fluid measurements.

By donating to our project, you will help my students develop a love for science.

These resources are extremely necessary as students engage in understanding real life phenomena and the effects and impact our students can have on creating solutions to the real world around them.
