My students need headphones and splitters so that multiple students can use 1 tablet. Timers will be used so that they can monitor their time.

Celebrating 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 am trying to better reach my students who represent an array of learning styles and needs. It is my goal to increase the amount of science equipment and technology used in our class.
I teach a diverse range of 7th graders.
I have students that require remediation as well as those that need enrichment. My students are incredibly motivated and persistent in their learning, especially in science. As a second year science teacher, it is my goal to foster an appreciation for scientific inquiry while relating science and technology to the everyday and diverse lives of my students.
My Project
These resources will allow us to successfully practice science while utilizing technology and math tools. I am confident that my students will begin to realize that they are scientists and that science is all around them... all the time!
The headphones will be used during station time when students are on engaging, interactive, and challenging science applications. Because technology is limited, the splitters will allow for multiple students to work on 1 iPad. This also helps to increase cooperative learning and teamwork. Since so many of my seventh graders are not reading on grade level, they benefit from hearing science vocabulary used in context while being presented with visual animations; these headphones will allow this to be done in a private and focused manner.
In an era where college and career readiness is a prominent factor in the teaching and learning process, STEM education is becoming more and more important.
I know that my students will achieve greater learning outcomes, given access to 21st century tools and content that will encourage them to think deeply.
