The ocean exerts a major influence on weather and climate by absorbing energy from the sun, releasing it over time, and globally redistributing it through ocean currents.

Activity 2: Video Game. Estimated duration: 5 min
Ocean currents are driven by variations in temperature and salinity, creating a global pattern of interconnected movement within Earth's hydrosphere. Warm, less dense water at the equator rises and moves toward the poles, while cold, dense water sinks and flows toward the equator, forming convection currents. The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth's rotation, deflects these currents, creating circular patterns known as gyres. Scientists use ocean buoys, ships, and satellites to map sea surface temperatures and track these currents, which play a crucial role in regulating climate, transferring heat, and supporting marine biodiversity.

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 5 min
Why is water colder the deeper you go? In this game, you will learn about convection and conduction with regards to the ocean. You will learn about how the ocean affects temperature and weather. You will observe simulated explanations of thermal energy and the oceans. Make sure you pay close attention. You will be asked questions at the end from the information you learn.

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 21 min
Can you battle the challenges of ocean currents in order to get Blackbeard's cargo docked? Gather bits of wisdom and tips about ocean currents in order to help Blackbeard and his crew. During the game, you must masterfully manipulate water currents by changing temperature, wind, and salinity to use the currents to help, and not defeat you. Arrr you up to the challenge?

Activity 5: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 20 min
Captain Kipper and Polly the Parrotfish are out for a vacation in their brand new submarine! But when the propeller gets tangled in floating garbage, they must learn to use ocean currents to take them where they want to go. Find out what moves water around the world, and use that knowledge to avoid sneaky seagulls and angry squid.
