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

I teach science to about 300 students in my school. The problem is that most stuff is consumable and sometimes we need to replenish our stock or things get broken. We are currently learning about Stars and Earth's place in the solar system and we are focusing on shadows. In order to do some fun activities, we could use some new globes, a lamp for the light, new light bulbs, an extension cord and game pieces to attach to the globes so we can see what happens when Earth rotates.

These items will help my 5th graders actively participate in all the hands on activities.
