About the Game

This simulation uses a map to show how physical matter is moved around by ocean and air currents. Players can move between different layers of the map, measure temperatures, follow currents through the ocean, and place a balloon or a ship in a bottle in the current to see how it moves.

Partners

We worked with our amazing partners at BrainPOP to create a collection of simulations for their teacher-ready science materials. Our BrainPOP simulations are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards for grades 6-12.
