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 Students

My classroom is full of future scientists including potential geologists. We need more hands-on scientific specimens that can excite my students and encourage them to stay in school and pursue careers in science.

My students are wonderful second graders.

Our school is located in a high poverty immigrant community in California. The parents of most of my students have never finished high school and my students will hopefully be the first ones in their families to go to college. My classroom consists primarily of students who are learning English as a second language. I also mainstream autistic and learning disabled students in my all inclusive classroom.

My Project

These meteorite samples will enable my students to really experience the science lessons they are reading about in their science and Language Arts books. The students will be able to use hand magnifiers to examine, describe, and compare each of the meteorite pieces. They will also be able to compare and contrast how rocks from earth are similar and different from meteorites which come from outer space. My students will also be able to learn and understand more about meteorites by looking at and listening to the books about meteors and meteorites.

My students love science!

I try to make my science lessons exciting by bringing their science lessons to life so all students can be exposed to the science curriculum. I want my students to be able to see real meteorite samples that most of them have only seen pictures of in their science and Language Arts books. As an added bonus, I'm asking for 3 sets of the Campo Del Cielo meteorite pieces so that each of my students will be able to keep one small meteorite piece to always remember when they did a science project that was out of this world.

I want this project to help inspire my student's imagination and positively influence many of these students to stay in school and pursue careers in science.
