Through NOAA B-WET, NESS established a three-year teacher cohort study and research group with alternative schoolteachers aimed at developing and testing best practices for achieving identified B-WET program outcomes in alternative school settings. The OELP professional development program also gives teachers the knowledge and encouragement to conduct MWEE in their classrooms using the best practices discovered in the alternative teacher cohort study and research group.
Density Dynamics:
Experiment by creating 4 model bodies of water and observe how they compare. What happens when we investigate how these waters float in one another? Perform tests to discover if there is a relationship between salinity, temperature, and buoyancy. Explore real-time ocean data and make connections to your model water bodies!
