Wednesday – PSA Writing Prompt given out What is fracking? The dangers of DMHO

Thursday – The Black Sea Exploration

Ocean Currents Video NB 67Cornell Notes:

1. What do you already know about ocean currents?

2. How do you think wind affects ocean currents and their patterns of circulation?

3. How do scientists study currents to track the flow of pollutants and nutrients throughout the seas?

4. How do ocean current patterns lessen the harmful effects of disasters such as oil spills?

5. Oceans are considered the “last frontier.” Have you ever imagined what life is like deep on the ocean floor? What would you find in its darkest trenches?

6. Which parts of the ocean do you think are endangered or threatened and the steps being taken to protect them?

7. Write any other interesting facts you learn here:

Post-viewing Discussion questions:

Discuss how oceans affect the Earth’s weather. How is weather at the equator different from weather at the poles?

What are some theories about how global warming will affect the oceans and their ability to moderate our climate?

How does global warming threaten coastline communities?

Discuss how the water where you live affects the environmental quality of the ocean. What ocean does the runoff in your community lead to?

How is the international community joining forces to protect the seas? Make a list of the steps you can take to protect the ocean or a body of water

near you.

Homework Activity: Write a poem about the ocean. Focus on a concept such as conservation, ocean creatures, or a high sea adventure.
