The Gulf Stream
Voyage is an online multidisciplinary project which utilizes
both real time data and primary source materials to help guide students
to discover the science and history of the Gulf Stream. Students
will investigate the driving forces behind this great ocean current, how
it affects the Atlantic Ocean and some of mankind's experiences dealing
with it. This voyage includes activities for marine
science, earth science, chemistry,
physics,
biology,
math,
history
and language arts. All
may be easily used in today's technology enhanced classroom.
This project has been developed to be used
as a complete tutorial on the Gulf Stream. However, the activities
are presented in a manner so that each may be used individually to supplement
traditional classroom lessons.
Most importantly, this project taps into some of
the exciting new applications of the Internet in education by having students
access real time ocean data, atmospheric data and historical primary source
materials. Students will utilize these fantastic resources, all in the
context of an authentic real world problem.
