Designed to build on the concepts presented in
the DVD, the lab activities in this set will teach
your students about the physical setting of the
world’s oceans and the processes affecting them.
Each of the ten labs can be presented as a series
of minilabs, a combination of demonstrations
and labs, or as a week-long set of lab stations
that may be done in any order. Topics include
Tides, Surface Currents, Density Currents,
Waves, Sedimentation, Sand, Turbidity Currents,
Salinity, Ocean Floor Profile, Bathymetry, and
Oceanography Careers. The manual also
covers national standards, teaching strategies, a
planning guide, pretests, and learning outcomes,
as well as student worksheets. The kit includes
enough materials for ten setups, a DVD, and a
teacher’s guide. Duration of DVD: 19 minutes.
