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

Hello I am hoping to be able to purchase these supplies in my classroom to support my students hands on learning. I am hoping to use them to create real life science labs my students can use the googles to stay safe in the lab and the lab coats to keep their clothes clean. We will be using the laser pointers so students can model how light uses reflection and refraction. Also using shatterproof mirrors to help them model this task. I want to be able to have fun and reward them as well with some smelly pencils to keep them engaged
