Blowin’ Up a Storm of Oil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how wind can create surface currents and how waves move. Learners also discover how wind can affect oil spills.
Investigating Density Currents
Source Institutions
In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).
Corals and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin
Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.
Sinking Water
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.
Modeling Tidal Action
Source Institutions
In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.
Simple Submarine
Source Institutions
Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.
Investigating Convection
Source Institutions
This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.
Portable Potable Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.
