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

Please consider donating to this project to help my students learn about electricity, circuits, both parallel and series. Students will have the opportunity to take their book learning to hands-on learning in a variety of ways with your donation.

Students will use squishy circuits and snap circuits to learn how to make circuits.

Both parallel and series circuits. Through the use of squishy circuits, students will use different types of conducting and insulating playdoughs instead of wires to create circuits in various ways. With snap circuits, students will create a variety of guided inquiry-based electrical circuits and discover how to make series and parallel circuits.

Please consider donating to this project to give my students the ability to learn about electricity.
