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

I am looking add some hands-on learning opportunities for my diverse 8th grade science students! We need more ways to learn about science through hands-on science and we have struggled with understanding simple machines and how they relate to physical science.

These materials will help my students see and understand how the basics of physics work!

Please join in supporting these cool cats as they look to build their understanding of science through hands on learning! I am asking for a Simple Machines Set, a large periodic table chart, a Science First Vacuum Lifter so my students can learn more about machines and physics. I am also requesting basic supplies like glue stick and laminating pouches as well as some science stickers as incentives.

My students need new ways to engage with science topics and these materials will help them have that experience. Please help support my students!
