Lora Koenig: "Even though the polar regions seem very far from a lot of people's day to day life, they are very important. Because they are regions that cool our earth. And as they change, they're going to cause larger changes throughout the rest of the globe." (source) Student Outcomes After viewing this video, students should be able to: Explain how climate variations can induce changes in the global ocean circulation. (C: 9-12) Explain the relationship between fresh water and ocean dynamics. (W: 9-12) Determine if global precipitation, evaporation, and the cycling of water are changing. (W: 9-12) Key: C = climate / O = ocean circulation / T = 21st century technology / W = water cycle |
