    Ocean Explorers

    Ocean Explorers What are Currents? We are bringing the beach to you! Grab your essential oils, turn on some ocean sounds, get your yoga mat and join us to make waves as we learn about ocean currents through a few simple experiments. Ocean Movement Although our planet is called “Earth” it might be better described as “ocean” as over 70 percent of the planet’s surface is covered with water! Ocean water is always on the move in the form of currents. A current is the continuous movement of ocean water caused by several factors including wind, temperature and salinity differences; the Earth’s rotation; and the impact of the moon’s gravity (tides). In these activities we are going to focus on salinity and temperature. Salinity Have you ever tasted sea water? It’s salty, right? The amount of salt in the ocean varies but overall, it is about 3.5 percent salt. This means for every 1 liter (1,000 milliliters) of seawater, there are 35 grams of salt. That may not seem like a lot but it makes a significant difference in how currents flow across the ocean. Adding salt to water changes its density. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. The more mass something has in the same volume (space), the denser it is. Salt adds mass to water. What do you think would happen if you mix salty water and fresh (no salt) water? Check out our Science Short video to find the answer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5thFonbdSk&t=11s. Was your prediction correct? Salt water is denser, and it sinks under the less-dense fresh water.
  • FNRS 1 Balloon

    FNRS 1 Balloon

    Technical Data Sheet 1 FNRS 1 BALLOOn Balloon External diameter : 30 metres Payload : 1000 kg Materials : cotton and rubber Fuel : hydrogen Construction : Riedinger Ballon Fabrik (A), in 1931 The balloon was inflated with hydrogen, since the production of helium was too expensive in 1930. The diameter of the inflated balloon was 30 metres, its volume 14,130 m3. The balloon’s payload was 1000 kg and it was therefore clearly oversized in relation to the load to be carried. Its capacity theoretically enabled it to lift a locomotive! The balloon’s envelope consisted of two layers of cotton bonded by an intermediate layer of rubber. The fabric was dyed yellow (chloramine). This colour absorbs part of the sun’s blue, violet and ultraviolet rays. On take-off the balloon took the shape of a pear. It was only at altitude, when the pressure fell, that the balloon became spherical. Gondola External diameter : 2.10 metres Empty weight : 136 kg Crew : 2 men Endurance : 24 hours Thickness : 3.5 mm Materials : aluminium Portholes : glass Average on board temperature : -2 to + 40°C! Manufacturer of gondola : Georges L’Hoir, Liège (B) Interior equipment : Jacques Destappes, mechanic, Brussels (B) In structural terms, the sphere offers the highest volume for the smallest surface area, and therefore the lowest weight. The 2.10 metre diameter meanwhile, according to Auguste Piccard, is “(…) the smallest dimension in which two observers and a great deal of instrumentation can be accommodated”. The first gondola was painted in two colours. It was thus able to present a light or a dark side to the sun.

    The Piccards and Their Submarines. Title

    The Piccards and their Submarines Title 185 I first met Professor Auguste Piccard in the summer of 1936 in Santander, where the University of Madrid had organised a summer course for non-Spanish students. We were housed in an old royal castle on the rocky shore of the North Spanish coast with a delightful private bay for our daily swim. There I saw a very tall professor in a minute swimming trunk with astonishing spectacles, one of his unsung inventions. They are now commonplace, small attachable sun filters, to be turned up when not needed. I had never seen these before, although others may have used them earlier. Professor Piccard was already world famous for his balloon ascents into the strato- sphere, 15781 m in 1931, and in the following year to a height of 16940 m. I never saw him again, he died in 1962, aged 78 years. Many years later in Switzerland, I met his son Jacques Piccard. [See Title 1041 The record balloon ascents were successful because Piccard had constructed an air-tight spherical gondola of aluminium and an over-sized balloon, only slightly filled on the ground, but fully inflated at high altitudes. Based on the same principle, he invented later a submarine, consisting of a pressure resistant steel sphere, at- tached to a lighter-than-water gasoline filled ‘buoyant balloon’. This ‘allowed him, with heavy weights magnetically attached to his gondola, to descend to record depths of water. He called it a ‘bathyscaphe’ and named it The Trieste. His son Jacques, like his father a physicist-engineer, helped him in the design and construction of the bathyscaphe, and together they descended in The Trieste to a depth of 3099 m near the Island of Ponza in Italy.

  • Sylvia Earle Background Information

    Sylvia Earle Background Information

    Sylvia Earle Background Information Birth and Childhood Home She was born in Gibbs town, NJ on August 30, 1935. Her early childhood years were on a farm where there were many woods to explore. One of her favorite places was a pond. Her parent, particularly her mother was very influential in teaching her respect for animals. She always emphasized putting animals back where they were found after observing them. Sylvia took notes as a young child on the things that she observed. They also taught her not to fear the unknown. Horseshoe Crab Story Sylvia as a little girl at the beach was curious about the horseshoe crabs and how they moved. She was also concerned that they were stranded on the beach. She tried to pick them up, turn them around and sent them back to the ocean, not realizing that they were coming up on shore to lay their eggs and that she was really interfering with their mating. (see additional notes on horseshoe crabs) Reading As a child she liked to read. She liked science fiction, fairy tales, and animal stories. As she got a little older, she found that she liked non-fiction books even better. One of her favorite books was by William Beebe name Half Mile Down. He wrote about going down in the ocean in a vehicle like a submarine. In her book Sea Change and some of her other writings and interviews she refers to it frequently. After reading that book she started reading more non-fiction books and began liking the encyclopedia.
