Oceanography Flip Book

Directions: You are going to be compiling information from your textbook into an

informational flipbook. This flipbook is going to be helpful to you as we embark upon our

study of OCEANOGRAPHY! There are going to be a total of 6 “flaps” Each “flap” will be a

include details related to the topic of oceanography that you will gain from the reading

within your textbook. Please follow the directions that are laid out within each flap and

HAVE FUN!!!

FLAP #1

Directions: On the first flap you are going to reflect on what you already KNOW about

oceanography, WHAT you want to learn about oceanography and what you will LEARN about

oceanography. This process chart is known as a KWL chart. Cut and paste the chart onto

the first flap along with the ocean images below the chart.

I already KNOW WHAT I want to learn

KWL Chart

What I will LEARN

FLAP #2

Directions: On the second flap you will be reading pgs 374- 381 in your science

textbook. You will then cut and paste the following questions onto the second flap

and answer them based on your reading. After filling in the answers to these

questions, please cut and paste the images below the chart onto your second flap.

1. List the FIVE major oceans

2. Why does ocean water taste

salty?

3. In the space below, refer to figure 3 on page 376. Draw this pie chart below labeling both the

ELEMENTS and the PERCENTAGES.

4. How is heat distributed in the surface zone of the ocean?

5. What causes convection currents? 419-421

FLAP #3

Directions: On the third flap you will read pgs 400-405 and answer the following

questions.

1. There are many of ocean . Some of these

are easily , but others are more difficult to .

is pollution that comes from sources rather

than just from a site.

2. pollution is caused by a leaking tanker, a , a treatment is one type of pollution.

is pollution that comes from a site.

3. List THREE different types of ocean pollution.

4. A ship spilled 750,000 barrels of oil when it accidentally struck a reef. The oil company was able to

recover 65% of the oil that was spilled. How many barrels of oil were not recovered? SHOW

YOUR WORK BELOW.

5. Refer to 401-403 about the 3 types of ocean pollution and write an short article about how it

affects the ocean, people, and animals. Here is one website to help with research and remember

to cite your source. http://www.all-recycling-facts.com/3-types-of-pollution.html

FLAP #4

Directions: Read pgs 417- 424and answer the following questions. When finished,

cut and past the diagram showing the different currents off the ocean on the BACK

of flap #4.

1. Horizontal, streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean are called

. can reach depths of several

hundred meters.

2. are controlled by three factors: , the

, and .

3. Different cause currents to flow in different directions. Near the equator, the winds blow

mostly east to west. Between 30 degrees south latitude and 60 degrees south latitude, winds blow

mostly west to east.

4. The sun heats air near the equator more than it heats air at other latitudes. Pressure differences form

because of these differences in heating. Pressure differences in the atmosphere cause the wind to

blow. So, the sun causes winds to blow, and winds cause surface currents to form.

5. What is the Coriolis Effect?

6. What is a convection current?

7. What are some of the effects of the El Nino weather pattern?

8. A fisher usually catches 540 kg of fish off the coast of Peru. During El Nino, the fisher caught 85%

less fish. How many kilograms of fish did the fisher catch during El Nino? SHOW YOUR WORK!

FLAP #5

Directions: On a SEPARATE sheet of paper, answer the chapter review questions

from pgs 438-439. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS Then paste this piece of paper with

your answers onto flap #5.

FLAP #6

Directions: On the sixth and final flap, you will be writing a narrative about

taking a trip across the Atlantic Ocean. Your journey will start in New

York and end in Ireland; on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Write a

NARRATIVE story that describes your journey across the ocean. What types

of marine life do you see on your trip? What type of dangers do you face? How

long does it take you to get there? What are some of the items that you miss

that you don’t have with you on your journey?

BE DESCRIPTIVE AND CREATIVE!!!

Unpacking the Standards (Unit 6-Processes of the Oceanography)

(Circle the noun(s) and underline the verb(s).) S6E3. Students will recognize the significant role of water in earth processes. S6E6. Students will describe various sources of energy and with their uses and conservation.

S6E5 Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed.

Essential Question(s) 1. How is water distributed around the Earth?

2. Where does the salt in the ocean come from?

3. How does the amount of saltwater differ from the amount of freshwater on Earth?

4. What causes water to continually move through the water cycle?

5. How are land features above the oceans similar to ocean floor features?

6. What causes waves, currents, and tides?

Overarching Essential Question How does the location of water on Earth's surface and the conditions of the atmosphere affect its

path through stages of the water cycle?

Enduring Understanding Majority of the Earth's surface is covered with water

Most of the water on the Earth is salt water. Only a small amount is fresh water,

including water in rivers, lakes, underground water, and in the form of ice.

Water cycles on earth as liquid, solid, and vapor.

Water evaporation from the surface of the earth, rises and cools, condenses (forms

clouds) into rain or snow, and falls again to the surface.

Salts have become concentrated in the ocean (sea) because the sun’s heat causes the

evaporation of water, leaving the salts behind.

Ocean currents are caused by wind, salinity, temperature, the Coriolis Effect, and

gravitational pull. Ocean currents flow in predictable patterns around the world.

The ocean floor has plains, mountains, and valleys, which are often larger than those on

dry land.

The moon’s gravitational pull and the spinning of the earth causes ocean water to

bulge, producing tides.
