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

American students are a great audience for hands-on learning. They do not want you to overload them with a wordy lecture. They want demonstrations with evidence first before accepting theories, hypotheses, and interpretations. That is why, as a science teacher, I need these materials and science kits to let the kids appreciate and assimilate the Newtonian and kinematics concepts effectively. Last but not least, the majority of my students are indigenous citizens in Gallup County, vNew Mexico and we are humbly asking and requesting help with this opportunity and privilege.
