Argos- Thinking like a Scientist
This video has no audio, what do you understand about ARGO from watching the video?
Browse the information on the NASA site about water. Write down in your own words any facts that really matter to you. What makes you feel some reaction to this information?

So now it is time to have a look at the Argo project in real time.
Go to Google Earth and add the Argo floats as a layer.
Watch the video to see how to set this up using the argo link provided. When you have followed the instructions you will see the earth with all the argo floats on it, and when you zoom into NZ you will actually be able to see the numbers
on each Argo float!
It is now time to put on your scientific hats! Using the skills of everyone in our class choose one of the argo floats that you or a small group of you will monitor.

Your task is to work like a group of scientists to find out about the New Zealand currents by predicting where your Argo will travel over the next 10 days, and then collecting data to test your prediction. You will make your prediction by looking at historical trajectory data from your Argo and other Argo around it. Use this information to help you to make a prediction of where your Argo will travel to next (use the sheet Mrs Walker provides to help you).

Use all of the video resources and the skills of the scientists around you to complete the task.

This video gives you more information on collecting longitude and latitude data for your Argo
This video is for you if you want more information explaining how to read GPS
coordinates as degrees, minutes and seconds.
Watch the video and draw a picture of the water cycle.
Take notes about the water cycle.
