Learning science and math is normally thought of as committing to memory facts and procedures. Because of this we tend to perceive the best way to teach is through rote memorization of ideas, theories, and models. As a consequence, students experience little opportunity to develop a real understanding of what they are expected learn. Our challenge is to craft strategies which allow student interactivity within lessons. Student involvement beyond memorization is an essential building block for learning science and math.

There is a lot of information known about planet earth; however, every day new and astonishing little known facts are discovered. These facts are the result of research by scientists who spend their time investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating prior knowledge into theories and facts that explain how the earth works. The study of earth and its related sciences is called earth science.

In the North Pacific swirls an enormous clockwise vortex generated by four converging currents from the north, south, east, and west. Like a slow and steady whirlpool, the North Pacific Ocean Gyre, as these vortices are referred to in oceanography, is a giant trap for anything that drifts into its belly.
