Description: This Website offers a review of the surface circulation of Earth's ocean and classroom investigations appropriate for various disciplines at the high school level. Articles and video interviews about ocean current research, interactive data visualizes, news articles, simplified models, teacher and student guides will create resources for diverse audiences who are impacted by ocean surface currents. This site highlights use of data derived from the on-line satellite data of Earth for understanding patterns of ocean surface currents and how they relate to issues of human exploration, commerce, science, weather/climate, and pollution. Classroom-ready, interdisciplinary investigation swill help high school students practice science, mathematics and writing skills matched to national standards and will be keyed to topics covered in the traditional high school curriculum. Each investigation is keyed to the stages of the 5 E's teacher/learning model.
