Students are given a visual demonstration of the Coriolis Force in the Northern Hemisphere. They are encouraged to find locations around the globe and try to predict what the weather circulation patterns might be like.

Pupils use pencil and paper to explore the Coriolis effect and how the Earth's rotation causes global wind patterns.

For this currents worksheet, students review the Coriolis effect, surface currents, and density currents. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions.

Students explore rotating frames of reference, focusing on the weightless environment in space and the Coriolis force.
