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

In my classroom, hands-on learning is essential, especially in science. My students are eager to explore chemistry, but without the proper materials, they miss out on the excitement of real experiments. When they can see chemical reactions firsthand, mix solutions, and test hypotheses, their curiosity and understanding grow exponentially. Unfortunately, we lack the resources to provide these experiences regularly.

With your support, we can equip our classroom with essential lab materials—beakers, safety goggles, reaction kits, and more—allowing students to fully engage in hands-on chemistry.

This will not only strengthen their understanding of scientific concepts but also inspire a lifelong love for science. By donating to our project, you are helping to create an interactive learning environment where students can experiment, explore, and discover the magic of chemistry!
