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

My students are hard-working, opting for a program that is more rigorous than the general program. These are IB students, taking my IB Biology class. They had a choice as to whether they wanted to take on the additional work or be in non-IB classes.

Because of remote learning, they have not had the experience of doing biology labs.

Now that they are in class, I am hoping to give them an opportunity to start.

My Project

Sharing goggles from class to class is a little risky at a time like this. Even though we have a UV sanitizer, I would feeI much better knowing students are using their own goggles.

Since our students have basically been deprived of doing lab work due to remote learning during the pandemic, I would love to give them the opportunity to do some real science while we are back in the classroom.

These are seniors; they need to go to college with some lab skills because many of them will be majoring in science. I still need to worry about safety, however, and sharing goggles is a definite risk. Without goggles, they cannot do labs.
