This resource turns modeling ocean circulation into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 9-12 earth science, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "What drives the Gulf Stream's warm waters northward?", "What happens to ocean circulation during an El Niño event?", and "What is the role of ocean models in climate predictions?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Ocean Circulation and Global, Coriolis Effect and Current, Deep Ocean Currents, El Niño and La Niña, Ocean Currents and Climate, and Ocean Atmosphere Feedback, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard HS-ESS2-5.
