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 inquisitive and creative. They are constantly trying to figure out how things work. The transparent tape will be used by the students to tape their paper roller coaster creations together. The masking tape will be used for various other creations that the students will make in the classroom.

Standing Tall and Testing Matter.

Students will be creating bridges and using the masses to test the strength and structure of their bridges. They will also be using the masses to calculate the density of various elements as they learn about the Periodic Table.
