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

8th Grade Scientists need all sorts and kinds of paper to do from posters to models. Students learn concepts from textbooks.

Although, hands-on-labs make science come alive instead of just reading and answering questions.

Projects that require paints, brushes, and tag board to create posters. For example prehistoric timelines, planetary models made to scale.

My 8th Grade Forensic Scientists need ink pads to learn about fingerprints, microscope slides to analyze physical evidence like hairs, fibers, etc. Our school is a Film and Media Magnet. In here we learn from film and create films and for that we need microphones.
