Finding Nemo

Nemo has to find the EAC (East Australian Current) in order to find his dad.  So, we decided to watch Finding Nemo today and Monday.  There is a worksheet that goes along with it.  Within the movie there is some good science!

Rubber Duck INVASION!

True story!  1992.  92,000 rubber ducks dumped accidently into the ocean.  Where did they go and how did they get there?  We solve those mysteries in class today.  Today students were to use the map below to map the ocean conveyor belt.  They also were to make predictions about where they thought those 92k ducks went after being dumped just east of Japan.  Then on Wednesday, they were to use the book page C85 to map all the ocean currents and their temperatures.
