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

The items we request, such as a scanner and ink, will support students' final project in our science class. In this unit, students will explore the human body system and cells of living and nonliving things. Students will analyze data information, sketch, and interview. In addition, they will take the signature from the interviewee and then scan all the information they received into their information book as a reference for their final project.

At the launching unit, students will identify the main factors/diseases that cause death in our community.

Then, they will use the information to create their PSAs and public service announcements, for which they will need ink for our color printer to make their poster information.

This project will make our students memorable because it will allow them to show their knowledge about science content to create ways to support our community and educate people in our society to stay away from illnesses.
