Easy Ocean Currents Science Experiment - What are Ocean Currents and How Do They Work?

Learn the science of how ocean currents circulate with Nanogirl marine scientist Dr Kate Sparks and this easy ocean currents experiment!

Warm and cold water mixing creates movement in the ocean, and keeps large currents moving around the world. You can watch those currents form and move right in front of you with this hands-on science experiment for children.

For this experiment, you will need
a large shallow tray or baking dish (see through or light coloured)
cold water
hot water
spoon
ice
two colours of food colouring
shells or rocks

Primary and elementary SCHOOL TEACHERS - if you'd like to incorporate this science experiment into your teaching of ocean science, you can download the free Nanogirl lesson plan resource for this activity at https://www.nanogirl.co/teacher-resou...
