The link below offers viewers a fantastic visual platform for viewing wind, ocean currents, particulates and more. The virtual globe can help students to understand, describe, explain, analyse…the command terms are endless! Click on ‘earth’ in the bottom left corner to manipulate the settings and change to ocean currents, particulates, etc. Move the map around to view the patterns all around the world!

Ocean Resources Game – Crystalline Green Ltd.

The link below is to a nifty little game I have used in class to let students discover the consequences of biotic and abiotic resource extraction from the ocean. Nice to use as an activity to introduce content, use it as an activity to summarise what they have learned, or both!
