Title: Latitude and Longitude
Description: This lesson is an introduction to coordinates on a sphere. It discusses how latitude and longitude define locations on Earth, and similarly, how declination and right ascension define locations on the celestial sphere. Also introduces systems of time-keeping, e.g. local solar time, time zones, universal time and the International Date Line.
Standard(s):
[S1] (6) 1: Identify global patterns of atmospheric movement, including El Niño, the Gulf Stream, the jet stream, the Coriolis effect, and global winds that influence local weather.

Title: Geography4Kids Quiz: Atmosphere Overview
Description: This website is an interactive quiz on the atmosphere.
Standard(s):
[S1] (5) 10: Identify spheres of Earth, including the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.
[S1] (6) 1: Identify global patterns of atmospheric movement, including El Niño, the Gulf Stream, the jet stream, the Coriolis effect, and global winds that influence local weather.

Title: Water on the Move Current Events
Description: This site contains great information and experiments. Learn what makes ocean currents flow on this page from the Museum of Science's "Oceans Alive!" Read about some major ocean currents and discover the effects of wind, sun, continents, density, salinity, El Nino, and the Coriolis Effect on currents.
Standard(s):
[S1] (6) 1: Identify global patterns of atmospheric movement, including El Niño, the Gulf Stream, the jet stream, the Coriolis effect, and global winds that influence local weather.
[S1] (6) 3: Describe water and carbon biogeochemical cycles and their effects on Earth.
[S1] (6) 7: Describe Earth’s biomes.
[S1] (6) 9: Identify the moon’s phases.
[S1] (6) 10: Describe components of the universe and their relationships to each other, including stars, planets and their moons, solar systems, and galaxies.
[S1] (7) 4: Describe organisms in the six-kingdom classification system by their characteristics.
[S1] (7) 7: Describe biotic and abiotic factors in the environment.
