This lab will demonstrate how ocean currents move matter and energy around the Earth. Highlights: - Surface Currents: global winds, continental deflection - Deep Currents: temperature and salinity - Convection Currents: hot and cold water and density differences - Upwelling: movement of cold, nutrient rich water to the surface to provide food for plankton and other marine animals.

Students will be able to observe energy transfer through radiation, convection, and conduction. Radiation - students will see how earth materials have different specific heat when a heat lamp is radiating energy. Convection - students will see how hot water and cold water react together to form a convection current. Conduction - students will be able to observe how energy will continue to transfer until both objects have reach equilibrium.

A game where students can name the flower.

This activity can be used as a warm up to test their knowledge about whether something is botanically considered a fruit, vegetable or berry.

Perfect for fall time to demonstrate an easy and fun lab.
