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

My students need to play, create and build to improve in the science and engineering academic areas.

I want to use the water table so students can play with sand and water to build levees, dams, and dikes.

Students will use the boxed activities to build cars and measure how far they can go. Students will build houses and see if they can float. Students will make paper airplanes and see how far the airplanes travel. They will design, create, build, and improve their projects. Help us make their ideas come alive.
