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

When students perform experiments they can visualize scientific concepts much better than by just reading the procedures on their textbook. With the appropriate lab equipment, like Erlenmeyer flasks and electronic balances, my students can put into practice the science concepts learned in class in a way that will help them remember them. Hands on experiences are extremely important to students of all altitudes and ages, but it is even more evident in students of the general population and those with learning disabilities. This is a lasting contribution that will benefit, not only my current students, but those that come in future years.
