ocean circulation
Lesson 3 - Ocean Currents
Published in
Grade: 6
Goals
- Learning the factors that create ocean currents (temperature, salinity, wind)
- Discussion of ocean circulation and its effects on weather
Objectives
1. Recreate surface currents using “wind” in a classroom demonstration
2. Simulate effects of landmasses and submarine features on currents
3. Model the complexity of fluid/current flow
4. Model the effects of temperature on water density/current formation
