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

My students are curious and want to do hands-on labs. We are so close to having all we need to do experiments safely, but we need a set of shelves to organize our lab materials and equipment. Some materials we need to order cannot be stored on the same shelves for safety reasons.

These cubbies will help us to have the space to safely store the materials we need.

The hands-on experiences will help support our biology, chemistry, and forensic science curricula and give my students a chance to see the material in a new way and experience what it is like to be real scientists.
