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 have gotten the chance to start using microscopes and learn how to use them. They have been very excited at learning about how microscopic life looks like.

I would like to get some microscope slides so that my students could have a variety of things that they can see under a microscope.

I would love for my students to be able to view organic and inorganic things. With these slides, my students will be able to have a better understanding of what items look like zoomed in. They would also have a better understanding of their science lessons.
