2/8 & 9 Motion: What kinds of factors affect the motion of the ocean?
Would you describe these as vectors or scalars?
To understand vectors & scalars watch Khan Academy's Vectors & Scalars video.
wind is a ___________ gravity is a _____________ earth's rotation is a___________ currents are__________ heat is a _________
Group Assignment- You are responsible for learning the names of the 5 gyres and who discovered them. Share with the class their direction of flow and their velocities in different parts of the ocean.

Calculating Average Velocity and Speed
2/17 & 18 Warm-up: Watch the first 10 minutes of Maiden Trip and write down Laura Dekker's starting & stopping location. Use the latitude and longitude on your maps to fill in her coordinates and the important countries & cities she passes by. Calculate her average velocity.
-In your own words, describe velocity, average velocity and speed.
Use Khan Academy's Calculating Average Velocity and Speed video for more support.
-Continue to watch Maiden Trip until she lands in St. Maarten in the Caribbean.
-Describe Laura's journey using the terms: vector, scalar, speed, displacement and average velocity.
-Plot her journey on the map and now also be sure to include major gyres and currents as well as the cities and countries that are along her route.

Introducing the Life in the Ocean Project.....
Part 1: On your campus, gauge a group's initial knowledge of marine debris. At the end of this project, you will ask the same group to complete a post survey. Their answers will be used solely to understand if the marine debris knowledge on your campus increased after you’ve participated in the Talking Trash & Taking Action program.
Part 2: Study marine debris in the context of land, air and ocean circulation and material types. Focus on how this trash affects marine life, especially migratory animals that follow the same circulation patterns.
Part 3: Take action and think of new ideas for re-using and even up-cycling potential marine debris that you can implement campus wide.
3/3 Ocean Cycling Notes:
2. List the equations from this physics link that you need to use for building strong supportive structures?
Practice problems:
Physics Quiz A physics quiz B
Lab 1: Newton's First Law
Write out the materials and your hypothesis. Continue on the procedure and be ready for lab tomorrow.
Practice quiz questions: Momentum, Forces and Braking, Potential Energy, Forces & Moments and finally Resultant Forces
Next week.....
