A resource I created for students who want to understand more about the world. A PDF file, that covers:
- THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to Isaac Newton, Christopher Wren, King of England, and Edmond Halley's 'continental weathering' theory. We then look at how the question was finally answered in 1979 during an expedition to the black smokers and hydrothermal vents on the Pacific Ocean floor).
- THE FOLKLORE EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to the Vikings, Norse Mythology, Grotti's Song, the Orkney Islands of Scotland and North Atlantic Ocean, and the story of the ants and the friendly giant from the Philippines).
- Suggestions for follow up activities
The file could be broken into sections as a longer topic or workbook, or given as a stand alone project or introduction to a new topic. There are multiple elements that cross over for topics on Vikings, oceans, exploration, biology, geography, slavery, storytelling , folklore, cultural diversity, and as inspiration and scientists who overcame adversity. May be suitable for gifted younger learners, or for secondary school students, STEM clubs, or students with English as a foreign language.
