This week we have been learning about ocean currents. We have been learning about their patterns and how they connect to wind currents. We have learned that wind currents help power ocean currents so we are seeing the connection between the two. We have even been conducting experiments. These experiments can help us prove our thinking on the connection between wind currents and ocean current. This week has been great getting to learn all about how are ocean currents work.

This week we used models. we used models by learning from pictures of ocean currents and wind currents. We also used are experiments that modeled the world for us so we could see how everything moves. We used these models to determine lots of factors this week. For example,we did an experiment where we blew out of straw s and we got to see from that how the northern hemisphere turns and why and the  same for the southern hemisphere. This week we have used our models to learn.

This week we learned about cause and effect in ocean and wind currents. we learned that wind currents effect and help great ocean currents. We also learned that ocean currents can cause items to move along with the current. We have seen how win effect the direction of a current. We have also seen the influence that winds can have on that water. This week we have learned a lot about how these can cause and effect things to happen in our world.
