Wave Math
Young scholars identify the different factors affecting the size and shape of ocean waves. In this math activity, students calculate wave speed and wavelength given a mathematical formula.
Curated OER
Lights in the Night Sky
Young scholars read about and explore solar winds and spectacular auroras, specifically the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights.
Weather Home Project
Weather Journal. For one week, students must keep track of the weather, referencing the temperature, moisture, wind speed, and the types of clouds. (ESL)
NOAA
Currents
A deep ocean current circles the globe at a force that is greater than 16 times all the world's rivers combined. Groups analyze the effects of submarine topography on deep ocean current speed. They then determine how this speed affects...
