Below is a list of websites and videos that might help you understand important concepts for each unit of study. If you find one that you think should be added, send Mr. Walsh an email and he will take a look :)
NOAA Ocean Currents Tutorial: As we learn about oceans, atmosphere, and climate in our Amplify unit, check out this NOAA tutorial to explore how ocean currents move water and heat around the globe. You'll learn about surface currents, deep ocean currents, and the global conveyor belt — all of which help shape weather and climate patterns worldwide.
NASA Climate Kids: Want to know how Earth’s climate works — and how it’s changing? NASA’s Climate Kids site explains big ideas like the greenhouse effect, carbon cycle, and global warming in simple ways. You can explore games, videos, and articles to help you learn how energy from the sun, the atmosphere, oceans, and human activities all interact.
NOAA Ocean Service for Kids: This fun site from NOAA is full of facts, games, and videos about oceans and coasts. Explore how the ocean impacts climate and weather, how scientists study the ocean, and why protecting it matters. Great for curious learners who want to dive deeper into ocean science and its role in Earth’s systems!
