Ocean circulation make-a-map project

Content: For this unit we learned about how the ocean circulates it water to help sustain life for the whole planet. We learned a lot about winds and currents and more about what in water causes these things. We learned about the Great Conveyor Belt and that it encompasses the entire world and moves warm and cold water to all the places needed. We learned about tides and how the Coriolis Effect has an effect on them and how the moon creates spring and neat tides.


Map Project

For the main project in this unit we were asked to label a map of the world with the main ocean currents gyres and upwelling zones including weather the current is warm or cold.

Conclusion: In this project I thought my work was pretty good and I did my best work. 2 things I did well on was Communication and collaboration. I did well on Collaboration because when my friend didn't know what to put on it I helped him with ideas on what to write about. I did well on communication because I asked my group for advice on what to put down and what to draw. I didn't do well on critical thinking and creativity. I didn't do well on critical thinking because I searched up stuff up so I knew what the terms where. I didn't do good on creativity because my drawing look like everyone else's.
