Fun Interactive Science Hour (FISH) - How Do Oceans Move
Past Event
About the Event
Join us for Fun Interactive Science Hour (FISH)!
FISH is a project that aims to improve access for all kids to ocean science literacy through hands-on experiments. Two workshops will be held at the library; you can attend all of them or attend them individually.
Workshop 2 - How Do Oceans Move:
The water in the ocean is constantly moving like a conveyor belt. But what drives the water that may have touched your toes at a beach to be pushed up to shore and to be pushed back? In short, it is all physics. To be more specific, it is the differences in temperature and salinity between surface and deep waters that constantly push ocean currents. In addition, wind affects surface water currents. To learn more about how the ocean moves, come to our workshop.
The FISH workshops are in collaboration with postdoctoral scientists at the University of Southern California and the Neighborhood Science Program at the Los Angeles Public Library.
For disability-related accommodations, please call (213) 228-7430 at least five business days prior to the event. The City will make every effort to accommodate requests received with less notice.
