Sixth graders at St. William of York School in Stafford studied a small-scale demonstration of oceanographic movement in their first science lab of the new academic year.
Students implemented temperature change to create currents in water and studied the effect of the global phenomena known as thermohaline circulation. Known as “The Global Conveyor Belt” this system of surface and deep-water currents drives geographic weather patterns and provide vital nutrients for sea life throughout all corners of the world.
