https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv What would your students say about how the ocean works? Why is it important? en-us 2019-02-14 01:35:59 UTC 2019-02-14 01:58:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331117063 My students would wonder where else we find water in our solar system and how we measure water on Earth]]> 2019-02-14 01:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331117063 https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331117896 They know about the water cycle. One of them might come up with the idea that it is practice for space travel. I don’t know how I would incorporate this into a middle school life/physical science class off the top of my head]]> 2019-02-14 01:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331117896 https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331117918 "Why are we learning about space water if we are trying to find the electric potential energy of an electron as it moves through a potential difference?" (I'm just making this up -- hope it actually makes sense.)

They would go further and suggest that this would help in our search for life outside of our planet.

The ocean/Salish sea is also seen as a place for community building (canoe journeys).

Many of them still like to say it is important for the fishies.]]> 2019-02-14 01:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331118090 https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331118203 life in the oceans is what my students mostly want to know about, but they're also curious about ocean floor structures, waves, currents and pollution, especially how plastic impacts oceans]]> 2019-02-14 01:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331118203 https://padlet.com/stittd/orkdafve55uv/wish/331118242 My students would think about the ocean being important because of what lives there. The different animals and plants and how humans get food from it.
