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

Hands-on laboratory science experiences are critical to the learning process across all areas of study, beginning with kindergarten and continuing through post-secondary education. Research has shown that students who engage in well-designed laboratory experiences develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills and gain exposure to reactions, materials, and equipment in a lab setting.

Studies show that students' interest in science and positive attitude towards science increased after participating in hands-on laboratory experiences.

During hands-on chemistry activities, students directly and safely investigate chemical properties and reactions, utilizing laboratory apparatus and instruments. These activities are essential for learning chemistry and improving science literacy. I am asking for basic laboratory supplies, such as hot plates to perform chemical reactions and digital scales to measure the weight and mass of different chemicals.

Many of my students have yet to experience an actual hands-on lab!
