Help me give my students the sponges and water bottles (lab equipment) needed to complete a science class lab experiment that shows how a wetland retains water, filters and cleans water and helps control flooding.

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
Florida's wetlands are imporant environments that provide necessary habitats for a vast array of animals and plants. Students are typically not aware of how vital a wetland is and what it does to improve water quality. This lab demonstrates what a wetland does.
The sponges in this lab act as the wetland itself and the bottles will be used to hold the clean water and the mucky water.
The students will pour the clean water over the sponge to see how wetlands absorb and hold water even in times of drought.
When the students pour the mucky water over the sponge most of the muck will stay on top of the sponge and cleaner water will drip through the sponge demonstrating how wetlands filter water.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
