Understanding Oceans

Today we watched a pretty good video on the oceans. We saw scientists, surfers, sailors and kayakers; viewed surface currents and creatures from the deep; learned about waves, tides and ocean circulation. Not bad for just one period! Want a refresher? Here’s a short clip.

Over the next several days we’ll further investigate surface and deep ocean circulation, follow the trail of sneakers washed overboard in the Pacific Ocean, and analyze sea surface temperature changes during an El Nino.
