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 am requesting basic lab materials that will enable my students to test the physical properties of compounds as well as other STEM activities. Cleaning supplies (including washing solutions and dusters) are also being requested so that we can maintain the cleanliness of our lab after performing our investigations.

I am trying to better reach my students who represent an array of learning styles and needs.

It is my goal to increase the amount of science equipment so that we can better achieve STEM standards and be college and career ready!

These materials will help my students to better understand how the physical and chemical properties of matter can help find the identity of unknown substances in a real-world scenario.

"A millionaire noticed her beloved antique pearl necklace was missing from her jewelry box. CSI was called to find clues that might prove who stole the necklace. After searching the scene of the crime, investigators found some mysterious white substance on the jewelry box. Each employee is known to be unhappy in their work conditions and frequently uses a specific white substance."

Students will test five suspect substances to learn their physical and chemical properties. They will then compare the properties of the Evidence Substance to the five suspect substances to find only one match. For example, students will learn that vinegar can be used to differentiate between baking soda and baking powder. Scent can also be used to determine identity of unknown substances.

In an era where college and career readiness is a prominent factor in the teaching and learning process, STEM education is becoming more and more important.

I know that my students will achieve greater learning outcomes, given access to 21st-century tools and content that will encourage them to think deeply about science concepts.
