Explore Earth: Ocean Circulation Patterns
Date/Time: Monday, September 26, 2022 | 5:00 pm ET
Join My NASA Data and NASA STEM EPDC for an in depth demonstration of the Ocean Circulation Patterns Story Map. Written using the 5E instructional format it integrates a range of visualizations (i.e., images, charts, and graphs). Students can explore ocean circulation patterns as they relate to the world’s ocean garbage patches using NASA ocean currents data, and investigate how debris, especially plastics, travel from land to garbage patches. Students can also analyze regional plastic production and waste management data to describe how humans have contributed to ocean plastic pollution
