Spanish Science Resources / Recursos de ciencia en español
August 31, 2022
We're updating our Spanish Resources Page this month, so you can start the '22-'23 year off strong with a few more resources to share that focus on Spanish speaking scientists' stories, both past and present, and the importance of Spanish in science communication. Use these videos, activities, lesson plans, and other resources for your multilingual students to form questions, think critically, and engage in science in Spanish.
