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

I am a Marine Science and Environmental Science teacher. I love my students who are bright and innovative. My students love to work on investigations projects. I l help my students find their wings and show them how to reach beyond their dreams. I'm dedicated to enabling each child to discover who they are and what they love while critically examining the world around them.

My Project

Ocean acidification reduces the amount of carbonate, a key building block in seawater. This makes it more difficult for marine organisms, such as coral and some plankton, to form their shells and skeletons, and existing shells may begin to dissolve. With this project, I will help my students to understand better the process of acidification of the oceans. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water. Since pH can be affected by chemicals in the water, pH is an important indicator of water that is changing chemically.
