Here’s a question for you….. Why is the ocean salty? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIDSMzXXzLM http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/til/150605-sciex-til-ballard-salty
Salinity and Density lab EQ: How does salinity affect density in ocean water? Procedure: Place 500 mL of water in the beaker Gently place the egg in the water- does it sink or float? Why? Remove the egg. Add 2 heaping teaspoons of salt and stir until dissolved. Place the egg in again. Repeat until the egg floats. Clean up materials and place back in tubs
Lab Results Why did the egg float? What was more dense: the salt water or the fresh water? Density: amount of mass in a given place
Ocean Composition Notes
Where is the most dense part of the ocean? Density Where is the most dense part of the ocean? Why?
When water has more salt it sinks because it’s more dense. Cold Deep Zone When water has more salt it sinks because it’s more dense.
The amount of salt dissolved in water Salinity 1.What is salinity? The amount of salt dissolved in water
2. What type of salt is most abundant in the ocean? Sodium chloride
3.Where will you find areas of low salinity? Near the surface and near the mouths of rivers
Gasses! 1. Most of the oxygen in seawater comes from underwater plants. 2. Nitrogen
Temperature What happens to the temperature as water depth increases (you go deeper) in the ocean? Why? It gets colder because there is less light.
Pressure What happens to the water pressure as you go deeper in the ocean? It increases because more water presses down on you.
Where are the oceans of the world located?
