8th Grade Science
Wednesday & Thursday, October 24 & 25, 2012
8.10(A): recognize that the sun provides the energy
that drive convection within the atmosphere and
oceans, producing winds and ocean currents.
8.10(B): identify how global patterns of atmospheric
movement influence local weather using weather
maps that show high and low pressures and fronts.
Today’s Objective: Students will demonstrate how
convection currents drive ocean currents.
