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

These materials will also be available long-term, so I will be able to provide years' worth of science labs for my students.

These materials will supplement my students' learning as we explore different science disciplines.

These materials will allow them to engage in more hands-on exploration. The pipettes, chromatography paper, and pH strips will introduce my students to materials that are used by lab technicians and other STEM-based careers. My hope is to spark an interest in STEM-based careers as they learn about the tools and the science behind them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
