Ocean Currents

Students use a Temperature Sensor and a Conductivity Sensor to investigate the driving forces behind ocean currents.

Supports NGSS Performance Expectation HS-ESS2-4: Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes in climate.

Grade Level: High School

Subject: Chemistry • Earth Science • Environmental Science

Featured Equipment

Wireless Conductivity Sensor with Display

This water resistant sensor connects via Bluetooth® to measure both conductivity (ionic content in solution) and total dissolved solids in solution, and features a bright display of real-time readings for convenience in a variety of labs.

Wireless Temperature Sensor with Display

The Wireless Temperature Sensor with display is a general-purpose sensor useful in many science labs. With a rugged, water resistant design and rechargeable lithium ion battery, students can get spot reads from the display or auto collect data to a device to study trends.

Wireless Conductivity Sensor

This waterproof sensor connects via Bluetooth® to measure both conductivity (ionic content in solution) and total dissolved solids.

Wireless Temperature Sensor

The Wireless Temperature Sensor is a general-purpose sensor found in many science labs. With a rugged, waterproof design and a long-lasting battery, students can spend more time collecting data and less time dealing with equipment.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
