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 Project

The best lessons are the ones you remember for ever. We all remember that perticular classroom where learning literally came alive with aquariums and terrariums. Learning about science needs to include visual, auditory and hands on activities that build those memories.

With your help we will create an active science room that helps build interest and supports our learning.

Imagine a science room where the sounds of active learners mixes with the hum of aquarium water fillters and air pumps. This will be a room where learning comes to life with real living materials. Let's create that science room that students remember.
