Science Grade 8ES Surface Water, Oceans and Glaciers |
2-4 weeks |
The oceans and glaciers of the Earth have a profound effect in shpaing the surface. |
What are oceans and how do they affect life on the Earth's surface? What are glaciers and how do they affect the Earth's surface? |
|
Using models to analyze coastal erosion and deposition. Using topographic maps to interpret landscapes formed by glacial activity. Measuring and comparing the properties of waves. Creating and using models of ocean currents to analyze their effects. |
