Post your driving question

 

What is the role of Rose Creek in the surrounding areas of Mission Bay?

 

Post your driving question or driving question ideas!

We were able to narrow down our topic. We still don't have a question, but we are narrowing down our plan to include movement of sediment in Rose Creek and Mission Bay. We are considering using bottom drifters to measure sediment movement and direction. Dr Dorman has a hydrolic  model of Mission Bay that our students will be able to use.

 

What was your hands on activity? Could you use this with your students? Could your scientist come to your class and do this activity with you? Reflect on your time today with your scientist.

 

 

 

Topic ideas/ driving questions
water density - how do fresh and salt water mix
Marine Layer - How does the temp of a large body of water affect climate
climate change (above)
ocean/wind circulation- how do ocean and wind circulations affect climate
waves - how can you predict a tsunami? how does wave size/wave length...
polution- is mission bay poluted?

Doing marine layer is right up clive's alley! You guys have some great topics/ideas mapped out. I think the documentary idea is really great. Documentaries are becoming so popular. Great work.

I enjoyed tech share today, mouse mischief, Veer and bite science podcast are tools that I can utilize
a lot in my classroom.

It seems more like we are changing the focus more into weathering, erosion, sedimentary layers, stratigraphy and relative dating.

I was amazed by what we saw on TedTalks today. The public can now view inside buildings. This is an amazing technology.

Dr. Clive spent lunch and the afternoon with us. He shared his perfected tool for measuring sand size. We discussed Stoke's Law. We have a great scientist :)

Dear M.B. H. S. Teachers,

I have placed the following 7 files in the big folder titled “Files” in this web site. They are on the settling tube and the Mission Bay model. Note that the settling tube should be at least 13-15 centimeters in diameter (about 6 inches). Let me know when you decide to make your own as I would like to make a new one for myself and we could work together on this.

Emery_1938_JSedPet_Anal_Sands.pdf
Emery 1938 basic settling tube reference, Fig 1. is a diagram of a settling tube, needing the most important correction that the MAIN TUBE DIAMETER SHOULD be 13-16 cm, NOT 21 mm as shown in the figure. Reason for correction documented in Gibbs 1972 article.



Gibbs_1972_JSedPetro_AccuracySedTube.pdf
Settling tube accuracy article. Says that settling tubes should have a diameter of
at least 13-16 centimeters in diameter for reasonable accuracy, a significant change from the Emery 1938 article.

An exercise using the Mission Bay hydraulic model. Gives a few ideas of what may be done.

SandTubCalif.pdf
This end of this technical report sand size has fall times for settling tubes for a couple of different water tube temperatures. Changing the water temperature makes only a small change in the fall time.
