monDay april 13
#1. Please log-in to your Google meeting (1st period by 9am 2nd period by 10am) for a 20 minute discussion/review in preparation of tomorrow's Unit 4 Test!
#2. Afterwards, the expectation is that you will submit your Formative Assessment that I passed out before break (an extra copy is below if you need to re-write on piece of paper). This is graded. You can take a picture of it with your name and class period or type in Google Docs and share via email.
#3. Review my website, focusing on Water Table layers, river parts, ground water pollution, the vocabulary.
#4. Take this 10 Question Kahoot for practice:

Wednesday April 15 KEY CONCEPT: thermohaline circulation that heat from the sun at equator is distributed around the world by ocean currents
#1. First read the Lab below, they try it at home. You need Salt, food dye, hot and cold water. It should end up stacking layers of cold/hot salt water that look like the picture.
If you cannot do it, then watch the video below to see what should have happened (hint: cold salty water sinks) and answer the questions.

thurSDAY APRIL 16 KEY CONCEPT: surface currents
Today's key concept is SURFACE CURRENTS!
#1. First watch the video & take notes
#2. Due the Activity on Surface Currents
#3. Watch GREAT GARBAGE PATCH video clip... it will make you think twice before you toss that water bottle!

MonDAY APRIL 20 Key concept: upwelling of ocean water
Ocean Currents and Upwelling
Notes from Class
One important idea when talking about ocean currents and upwelling is the idea that abiotic factors can affect biotic things.
An abiotic factor is something that is not living. Examples of this would be sunlight, wind, ocean currents, etc. These are things or processes that are not living but that can affect other living things.
Biotic things are living organisms like plants or animals. Ocean currents are an abiotic factor (not living) that affect biotic things (living organisms). Although it is exaggerated in Finding Nemo, ocean currents like the East Australian Current (E.A.C.) mentioned are vital for the recycling of nutrients.
When plants or animals in the ocean die, their bodies sink to the ocean floor and they decompose releasing the nutrients that were in their bodies. Those nutrients can then be picked up and carried along the ocean floor in ocean currents.
When those ocean currents approach a continent, the nutrients that they are carrying are brought up to the surface where they are recycled and can be used by other organisms. This is called upwelling and it is why the areas next to coastlines have very abundant and diverse life.
If you go to a beach that has cold water (like the western coast of North America), it is likely the case that upwelling is occurring there and you would expect to find a large amount of diversity and very rich life environments. Upwelling is caused by surface winds blowing water which forces the cold, nutrient rich deep water to come and take it's place.

2 types of ocean currents:
- Currents driven by differences in density/temperature: Cold water is more dense and sinks while warm water is less dense and will rise.
- Currents driven by surface winds: This is the process responsible for upwelling!!
