Differential Heating Storymap (1/13)

I can explain how water is an energy agent.

• I can explain how temperature and density of ocean water results in major ocean currents distributing heat away from the equator toward the poles.

• I can explain how coastal climates are moderated by water (due to its high specific heat capacity) in comparison to inland climates.

1. Intro: Water Distribution on Earth & Water Properties

2. Left Side/Right Side: Left side does beach observation. Right side does desert observation.

3. Comparing 3 Geographic Locations

4. Specific Heat Investigation

5. Ocean Water Density Demo

6. Video: How do Ocean Currents Work?
