Highways of the Oceans - Sea currents and the connection to climate| TEACH WITH SPACE G02
Subjects: Geography, Physics, Science |
In this set of activities students will use an multimedia module to learn about sea currents, the highways of the oceans, and how they are important for understanding local climates. Using a hands on activity they will investigate what causes ocean currents. They will also use satellite images to analyse the temperature of the sea surface and understand why satellite observations are useful for monitoring sea currents.
