Investigating ocean currents

Our ELI today is 'Lost at sea – the amazing journeys of rubber ducks around the world; studying ocean currents following the Friendly Floatees ocean spill'.


This ELI uses a real case to study ocean surface currents. After doing it, pupils can 
predict the routes of ocean surface currents; test their hypotheses and explain about the Coriolis effect. They can also explain about the connection of all oceans through ocean currents.

Related activities can be found in our Oceanography section in the Investigating the Earth category.

   

How the pH of water may change as it moves underground

Still on our chemistry theme, today's ELI is 'The watery world of underground chemistry; using pH to link the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere together'.

This Earthlearningidea involves a discussion, with demonstrations, of the likely change in pH of water as it goes through the underground part of the water cycle.

Related activities can be found in he Water Cycle in our Earth as a System category.

   

Teaching the Periodic Table

Continuing with chemistry, our ELI today is 'An Element of fun; an entertaining way to teach Mendeleev's Periodic Table of elements'.


This activity can fix in the mind of young students an image of the Periodic Table and help them to learn some characteristics of the chemical elements.

Related activities can be found in Minerals and Elements in our Earth Materials category.

   

Chemistry of the human body and the whole Earth

 Our ELI today is 'What am I made of? - a comparison between the chemistry of the human body and the rest of the Earth'.


This activity compares the chemical elements that make up a human body with those that make up the Earth. Notes and possible answers to some of the questions are provided.

Related activities can be found in Minerals and Elements in our Earth materials category.


   

Follow the journey of litter to the ocean

The new ELI today is 'The ocean starts here; follow the current to discover your connection to the ocean... and the fate of litter.'

This activity aims to raise students’ awareness of the fact that everything that ends up in road drains (rubbish, other types of pollution),even in inland areas, will reach the ocean via waterways and will eventually be redistributed everywhere by ocean currents.

Related activities can be found in our Oceanography category.
