In
this
lesson,
students
learn
about
the
varying
sizes
of
ocean
waves,
what
causes
such
variation,
and
where
to
find
giant
waves.
Students
will
learn
the
parts
of
a
wave,
and
discuss
wave
height,
wavelength,
and
wave
period.
They
will
explore
variables
that
influence
wave
size
through
scientific
visualizations.
They
will
then
experiment
with

Back
in
the
days
of
Christopher
Columbus,
voyages
made
across
bodies
of
water
were
dependent
upon
winds
and
currents
to
drive
the
sailing
ships.
Thus
good
navigation
routes
were
often
determined
by
prevailing
weather
conditions
such
as
the
Trade
Winds,
and
then
discovered
by
explorers.
In
this
lesson,
students
will
explore
the
wind
climatology
for

Atlantic
Ocean
basin
