Summary:
This week in science, I learned that current are formed by temperature changes and wind. The wind also moves in a similar direction as the ocean currents. I also learned if some types of waste are more powerful than its counterparts, it can blend in and dominate the surroundings. We also did a few worksheets and experiments on wind movements and ocean currents, to see the affect it can have on the land. This is what I learned this week in science.

SP2: Developing and using models

I used models to understand how the wind effects the currents in the ocean. I did this by seeing how the waste would move. We observed that the temperature change would move the waste around. When we added wind a bit later, it proved to be a quicker way to move the waste across our "ocean". We also experimented on the different types current direction, and what they are labeled as, by doing seperate worksheets. This is how we used our models and resources to understand the topic.
