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

Wow! The interaction between the predator (hydra) and prey (daphnia) is a marvel to behold with your eyes. The bunsen burners will be used with metal conductivity stars to show how quickly or slowly electrons (electricity) travel by element. I have a glass tank awaiting more hermit crabs, for biological behavior, instinct and respond too stimuli lab. The ghost and cherry shrimp with be a great addition to our already thriving 50 gallon freshwater tank! thank you for real, living and breathing science!!! My students and I will learn how to care for and raise fish, hermit crabs, elodea, etc.
