Youtube Playlist: Oceanography

The YouTube playlist that I created is intended to be used as supplements in a unit about oceanography. The first video in the playlist is a crowd pleaser, featuring the ever popular Bill Nye the Science Guy (Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!). It is a quick clip that introduces the topic of ocean currents which could be played before we conduct our own wave and current experiments. 

The next video is interesting to the max giving us information on the Deep Sea. First we learn about submarines, how they are built, why they are useful, and even meet a submarine builder. Then, we go on a dive into the abyss 3,000 feet down. It does an excellent job detailing each zone of the ocean while we are in it. This video would be great to watch with a fill in the blanks hand out to match each zone with a description. It also could be used as a prompt for creative writing about their own deep sea adventure. The third and final video is full of facts. Perhaps not intended to be watched as a class, but to be accessible for students who are interested in the deep sea.
