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

At my school, it is hard to get students interested in physics topics. To help combat this and show that physics can be and is fun, I would like to put together different physics based activities in which students can explore the concepts in class in a fun and engaging way.

By providing students fun interactive physics activities that are simple in nature it opens a door to allow students to observe how physics works in the smallest of ways.

These STEM kits would be used has rotating centers for students to spend time in class playing and engaging with physics concepts related to the content we are currently learning.
