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 Students

My students are a diverse group, from a rural farming community. Many are first or second generation citizens, and are learning English as a second language. The Wasco community is AWESOME!

The students here are fantastic.

They love learning and are committed to the wonderful atmosphere at the high school and in the community.

Many have never been exposed to learning science before, so I would love to help enrich their lives with a great, hands on science laboratory with many exciting experiments.

My Project

Scientific calculators are a necessity in chemistry. Students struggle with scientific notation, significant figures, gas laws, and the super complex stoichiometry problems. These Ti30Xa scientific calculators are great. They are simple to use and read. Once students get the hang of using them they are able to do calculations in lab and on quizzes and exams with relative ease.

Unfortunately, items such as these calculators are subject to wear and tear and need to be replaced periodically.

Please help us resupply the chemistry lab with 25 new calculators.

Chemistry is such an important topic in the complex world we live in. In this class students will be learning the ideas behind modern medicine, fossil fuels, climate change and many more exciting topics that shape the world around them.
