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

This year I am teaching Advanced Placement, Honors, College Prep Biology, and Environmental Science. I am also advising the Eco Mindfulness and Garden Clubs. My students care about the environment, gardens, and campus beautification.

My students need various labs for our biology class.

In the sickle cell lab students will perform gel electrophoresis to learn about the inheritance of sickle cell disease. In the Wisconsin Fast Plants labs students will look at inheritance patterns in plants to study dominant and recessive traits. These are important topics in both our genetics and biotechnology units. These hands-on labs will help them understand and learn the concepts. In my last project I received 10 monoculars and we need 10 more so that each pair of students can share instead of groups of 4. With another project we received 15 field guides so the students can go out observing during their field surveys. I wanted to add two more to our collection. The field guide of the seashore and chapparal will be great additions for the students to use. We need the brochure holder mount to display them all so students can receive and use them easily.
