Project Earth Science: Physical Oceanography, Revised 2nd Edition, immerses students in activities that focus on water, the substance that covers nearly three-quarters of Earth's surface. Eighteen ready-to-use, teacher-tested classroom activities and supplemental readings offer explorations and straightforward explanations to foster intuitive understanding of key science concepts. Students cover topics such as the structure of water molecules, saltwater and freshwater mixing, and tidal forces as they create waves, dissolve substances, float eggs, and more. Background materials for students and teachers, detailed and illustrated procedures for doing hands-on activities, and supplemental resources provide all the tools necessary to make a splash in the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlfredo L. Aretxabaleta is a physical oceanographer with US Geological Survey (USGS) at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center. He woks on sediment transport problems in the coastal ocean, including cohesion and resuspension processes. He also studies the effects of storms and changing climate on coastal water levels. He has worked on observation, data assimilation, and real-time forecasting relative to harmful algal blooms and fish recruitment in the western Atlantic, and he has worked at the Institut de Ciencies del Mar (Barcelona) in the satellite sensing of ocean salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 10.7 x 8.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 20, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47224522408185,"sku":"9781936959020","price":15.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/qa_LwSmODS9781936959020_ae1b7f82-514b-46ff-b05f-6579b55e7d65.webp?v=1768237739","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/project-earth-science-physical-oceanography-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
