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

Our students are so curious to learn new things. Their research never ends, and they always seek opportunities to develop their experiments. They take their time wisely to design and initiate their research project. All the supplies that we requested are part of their research tools. For example, pencils and notebooks are the primary tools they use to collect data for experiments and trials.

The whiteboard and other writing and management tools will be part of their organization and management for their running project.

Students are training to be great scientists who know how to manage and organize their research, following all inquiry steps.

All young scientists in this school know how to develop their projects independently with the teacher's guidance. They are active researchers who never stop thinking and developing new ideas for phenomena. Together, we can make school run successful science project bases.
