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 love how my students minds spark interest and excitement as they work together to plan and complete a STEM Lab investigation. Both materials play an important role. The metal washers will be used to determine the relationship between the mass and the amount of heat energy that is transferable to water. The nylon fish line will be tied to the metal washer for students to safely place in their insulated cups.

Donating to this project will help encourage my students' curiosity, foster communication and build their self confidence

STEM learning is a hands on approach that fully focuses and engages my students in learning. They look forward to coming to my science class everyday to continue with their STEM activity.
