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 love to explore and learn how things work! With these STEAM kits, they will more easily build model cars, boats, and planes.

My third graders will learn about engineering, technology, and science through different hands-on activities!

They will better understand how different parts function and work together. They will use the models they build to conduct investigations based on their own questions. Through different experiments, they will also learn about balanced and unbalanced forces. As a final project, they will design their own model cars, boats, and/or planes using other materials in an effort to improve the original designs.
