Comment on this resource
This lesson introduces students to the clod, a device that uses the principles of solubility for the measurement of water currents. In this activity, students will be able to describe factors that affect the solubility of a chemical substance in seawater and explain how information on the solubility of a substance can be used to measure water currents.
