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 Students

I teach at a Title I school. Many students get free or reduced-price lunch. The majority of students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and may only get the two meals a day they receive at the high school. Many of my students are also English language learners or already speak two languages. My students are filled with personality and many have experienced hardship no sixteen-year-old should have experienced.

My students bring enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and imagination to class on a regular basis.

Our campus has a strong sense of community; we really are a family. We even have a supper program where students can eat dinner after school for free.

My Project

With other DonorsChoose projects I have been adding more sensors to build our lab equipment supply. To do some additional labs we need the BioChamber 2000 and BioChamber 250 to study cell energy in enclosed environments. These chamber openings are the only ones that fit the diameter of the probes that we use in our class. We also need a set of temperature probes to see how different temperature can affect the production of carbon dioxide during our cellular respiration labs.

The temperature probes can be used in a wide range of labs from studying cell energy, biomolecules, membrane transport, and biotech.

Sensors and probes in science class elevate the lab experience and the students really start to feel like young scientists in class.
