https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/kits/currents/06conveyor.h This week we will be learning about the Global Conveyor Belt. The link above will give you some great information and animations from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If the link doesn't work for some reason, put NOAA Global Conveyor Belt in the search bar. I will have some black and white copies on hand, but they will not have the animations nor the rich colors. You need to find out what the conveyor belt is; where it starts; how it moves; and why it is important. In addition there are terms that we will be using like thermohaline and density. On Monday, we will wrap up the unit test from last Friday and prepare for our lab. We will work on determining if freshwater or saltwater melts ice faster. This lab will take several days to complete and is important to understanding the importance of our oceans to maintaining the balance of life on our planet. Tuesday and Wednesday will be lab. Thursday you will take the Quiz on Global Patterns and work on differentiating climate and weather. The Coriolis Effect notes, and Earth's Regions notes from last week will be expected to be completed at home if necessary to be turned-in by Wednesday. Friday is a holiday from school. Please pay attention to due dates in class so that you do not have work to do over the long weekend. Planning is one key to success.
