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 Students

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning. Every day I try to incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are, but most of them are visual learners who need hands-on activity to understand and apply their knowledge.

I have a total of one hundred and eighty-nine students in my six chemistry classes, and all of them will benefit from this project.

They are very enthusiastic about learning chemistry. They are my inspiration!

My Project

Students can explore molecules in a hands-on way with the Happy Atoms Complete Set. Using the set’s 50 atom models that represent 16 different elements (hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and argon), students can assemble molecular models. The atoms stick together with magnets. Each atom’s rubbery arms have metal tips that snap onto magnetic bonding sites on the atom spheres. The instruction booklet provides six different experiments to guide them through building a variety of molecular models to give students a visual understanding of electrons, bonding, states of matter, and more. They can also read about the discovery of the atom and what exactly an atom is.
