How to Play

Play Go With the Flow to learn about ocean currents-and to unlock the hidden treasure!

In this game, you are in a submarine and you need to fix the currents to take you where you want to go. Where do you want to go? You want to get the key to the treasure chest full of gold!

Here are the two rules to remember:

Salt makes water heavier, so it sinks.

Heat makes water lighter, so it rises.

In your current management toolbox, you have these tools:

How Currents Work in the Ocean

The rules of the game are how ocean currents work in real life, too. Salt makes water heavier, so it sinks. Heat makes water lighter, so it rises.

If you have tasted the ocean, you know it is very salty. Salty water is "thicker" or denser than fresh water. That is why it is easier to float in the ocean than in a fresh-water swimming pool or lake.

Does that mean that fresh river water would float on top of salty ocean water? It all depends on the temperature. Heat makes water lighter, or less dense. So, warm salt water might float on colder fresh water.

In the ocean, things get even more complicated. The ocean is salty, but some parts are saltier than others. For example, every summer, some of the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean (near the North Pole) melts. Then in winter, it freezes again. The salt doesn't freeze; only the water freezes.

The salt from the ice mixes into the water below, making it even saltier. When the salt-free ice melts the next summer, the melted fresh water tends to make the nearby upper ocean less salty. But the melt water is also colder, which makes it sink.

All this heating and cooling and melting and thawing creates big ocean currents. Cold water sinks near the North and South Poles. Cold water also flows toward the equator, getting warmer as it goes. As the cold water warms, it starts to rise to the top and sends the warmer surface water back toward the poles. The warm water flowing from the equator toward the poles helps warm the climate in North America and Europe.

This ocean motion is called the "great ocean conveyor belt." The movement of water on this conveyor belt makes Earth a nice place to live. Without it, the equator would be way too hot and the northern and southern parts of the planet might be frozen all the time.

What would happen if the ocean became too warm and the ice did not form?

As Earth gets warmer, less ice forms in the Arctic each winter and more ice melts in the summer. How are these changes in the ocean's surface temperature and saltiness-or salinity-affecting the ocean currents? How is the melting and heating affecting the average sea level?

NASA spacecraft are collecting information about ocean temperature and salinity all the time. The information they collect will help scientists find the answers to these questions-and more!

For example, the NASA mission SMAP -short for Soil Moisture Active Passive-has an instrument that measures the salinity on the surface of the sea. This information can help us better understand when and how the ocean currents are changing.

It's so important to know the world we live in. But it's so huge! There are so many countries, cities, flags, rivers, seas and more than 7 billions of people. Do everyone know all countries of the world? Probably not :) Some people even don't know neighboring countries.

And I understand why. Sometimes learning is too complicated or a geography teacher is too boring at school :) But let's change it, let's make geography interesting. That's why playGeography.com was created.

We're a group of enthusiasts who wants to help you discover the world. It's so interesting, there're so many places you'll want to visit, there're so many countries probably you even didn't hear of. At the time of writing, there were 195 countries. How many can you... read more

Create Your Own Simulations

MW is not just a collection of simulations -do not be deceived by first glance. While it presents many existing simulations that are ready to use in the classroom, it is, however, also a modeling tool for teachers and students to create their own simulations and share them with collaborators. There are very sophisticated modeling capacities hidden behind its simple user interface that empower you to create new simulations and even explore the unknowns. (Because of the experimental and computational nature of this kind of simulations, we prefer to call them computational experiments.)

Create Your Own Curriculum Modules

A simulation without instructional support is difficult for students to use. An optimal way of using simulations is to embed them into curriculum materials. MW has an authoring system for teachers and curriculum developers to create or customize their own online lessons that use models and simulations. A typical MW module is a comprehensive learning package consisting of a series of scaffolded pages that contain text, simulations, tools, controls, graphs, navigation links, and embedded assessments. The user interfaces of simulations in MW can be customized for students of different levels (grades 6-16). This unique feature enables it to support a wide range of instructional strategies such as inquiry-based, discovery-based, and problem-based learning.
