Coriolis Effect/Ocean Currents Webquest for Online/Remote/Distance Learning
Need a resource your kids can do online? This webquest is designed to allow students to teach themselves about the Coriolis Effect, El Nino, and the causes of ocean currents and their effect on Earth's climate. These websites do an excellent job of walking students through these concepts. The Coriolis Effect can be particularly confusing, but the website's use of animations, images, and simple, straightforward laguage has consistently helped my students to understand these difficult concepts.
