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 requesting lab equipment for a frog dissection for my 7th graders. They had labs before in my class but never a biological lab in which they learn about the anatomy of a creature.

It is imperative that they have a foundational lab experience before they leave 7th grade because they lacked the resources to do so before.

As their science teacher it was a challenge because they never truly had a science lab experience before and I want to grant them the skills necessary to take to the next grade and for life.
