1 Activity Three, Wind-driven Currents Name: EXPLORING AND DISCOVERING MAPPING THE SNEAKERS JOURNEY RECORD SHEET Exploration questions What happens when unpowered objects like sneakers or oil drums or lifeboats are set adrift in the ocean? In what direction do they move? Why? Predictions and explanations Data North Pacific Ocean Map Study of Place, Copyright (c) 2002 TERC 1
2 Activity Three, Wind-driven Currents Ocean Currents Exploration Questions 1. From the time they spilled in May 1990 through the last recorded recovery at 54ºN, 133ºW, the Nike sneakers traveled in four different currents. Name the currents from first to last Study of Place, Copyright (c) 2002 TERC
3 Activity Three, Wind-driven Currents Name: 2. Pretend that you are on a cruise that begins off the southeast coast of Madagascar. (Madagascar is an island off the east coast of Africa at 20ºS, 40ºE). Your cruise ship hits a large wave and starts taking on water. All passengers have to get into lifeboats. In which current would you be launching your lifeboat? Toward which continent would you be heading? Explain. Study of Place, Copyright (c) 2002 TERC 3

7 Ocean Currents Exploration Activity Three, Wind-driven Currents Ocean Currents Using your maps of Earth s ocean currents and winds, determine which direction currents and wind are moving in each of the five locations listed below. Record your findings in the data table using compass direction, e.g. N, S, E, W, NE, NW, etc. Wind and Current Direction Table Location West coast of the United States East coast of the United States North Pacific Ocean (around 40 o N, 170 o W) Just North of Antarctica at 50 o S, 100 o E To the west of South America at 10 o S, 100 o W Direction of Movement Ocean current Wind circulation Study of Place, Copyright (c) 2002 TERC 7
8 Activity Three, Wind-driven Currents Name: Questions 1. Looking at the five locations above, what relationship do you see between ocean current direction and wind direction? 2. Look at the wind map. Are the winds between 0º and 30º in both hemispheres coming from the east or from the west? 3. Look at the wind map. Are the winds between 30º and 60º in both hemispheres coming from the east or from the west? Study of Place, Copyright (c) 2002 TERC 8

11 Activity Three, Wind-driven Currents Name: Questions 1. In the Northern Hemisphere, was the parsley circulation clockwise or counterclockwise? 2. In the Southern Hemisphere, was the parsley circulation clockwise or counterclockwise? 3. How do landmasses (the sides of your container) contribute to the creation of gyres? What do you think would happen if there were no landmasses? 4. Describe in words the circulation of a gyre positioned between Australia and South America. Would it be clockwise or counterclockwise? Why? Study of Place, Copyright (c) 2002 TERC 11
