My students need a density flow model and density sets to understand the concept of density as it pertains to biotic and abiotic factors in the ocean.

Celebrating 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
Have you ever struggled to understand a difficult topic? My students love learning about the ocean but struggle to learn about the physical factors - like density. Our marine program is new and we need help with lab materials.
My students are very bright and creative individuals.
They come from all over the city to come to our magnet school. They represent many ethnicity's and various language and academic abilities. Their questions and enthusiasm inspire me to provide excellent learning opportunities.
My Project
I am requesting a density flow model to teach ocean stratification (haloclines and thermoclines), waves (internal, seiche), and currents. The density sets help students emphasize the difference between the size of an object and the mass of an object.
My students have chosen a marine biology course because of their love of the ocean and appreciation for the natural world.
I am training the next generation of ocean stewards and need your help. Good environmentalists are not solely driven by passion but also by understanding the complexities of the ocean and density plays an important role in the physical properties of the ocean.
