Ocean Currents
Students determine how water and wind affect ocean currents. In this science investigation instructional activity, students follow the provided steps to enable them to consider how explorers may have used ocean currents to their advantage.
Curated OER
Water Currents
Students demonstrate how ocean currents are influenced by changes in density. They discover that temperature and salintiy affect density as well. They participate in a short experiment to end the lesson plan.
