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

Students have been affected by Covid due to a lack of interpersonal learning. They have not been able to learn the value of collaboration. Most importantly, they lack the ability to self-regulate when working with others. They tend to argue and cannot control their emotions. The requested resources will allow them to learn how forces such as gravity and friction affect real-world structures such as rollercoasters. With other students, they will be able to plan, manipulate, and discuss what they are learning in class about forces, energy, and Newton's Laws of Motion, while also practicing how to effectively collaborate.
