Topic                                              :  Salinity of Ocean Water

 


Curricular Objectives         To understand the factors affecting salinity of ocean water.
Content Overview               Salinity of Ocean Water - average salinity of sea water, reason for
                                                salinity,  factors affecting   salinity.
Content Analysis                
·       Term                         Salinity average salinity, Sodium chloride salts, evaporation,
                                    rainfall,  currents, latitudes,estuaries
·       Facts                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
Ø Salinity of ocean water in the amount of salt present in ocean water.
Ø Salinity is usually expressed as the number of grams of dissolved salts in 1000 grams of sea water and the  average salinity of sea water in 35 parts per 1000 grams (35 %).
Ø The main reason for the salinity of ocean in the presence of Sodium Chloride.
Ø Rainfall, evaporation , presence of   estuaries  , water from melting ice, ocean currents etc... are the factors affecting salinity.
Ø  Concept                     
Ø The amount of salt present in sea water in the salinity and the average salinity of sea water is 35 %.
Ø These are many salts in sea water other than sodium chloride like magnesium chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium sulphate, etc..
Ø  Principles
Ø These are many factors which causes the changes in the amount of salt in sea water and that leads to the change in salinity.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

Knowledge                         Students recognize the causes of sea water salinity.
Understanding                   Students understand the factors affecting salinity.
Application                         Students analyse  the reason behind changes in different oceans.
Analysis                               Evaporation, amount of rainfall, presence of educations,                                        water from melting ice, meeting of currents etc.. are the                                            factors affecting  salinity.
Synthesis                            These are many salts present in  the sea and  among                                            them sodium chloride causes  the salinity in sea water.
Evaluation                          Students evaluate that the variation in salinity can affect                                            the change  in temperature of ocean water also.
Pre- requisites                   Sodium chloride is the reason  for salinity of ocean                                                                           water.
Attitude /Values  
Ø    Develops interest in visiting sea or ocean.
Ø    Develops interest in studying   oceanography.
Learning  aids                            Chart showing the factors affecting salinity.

Entry  behaviour                   Idea about characteristics of sea water.

Method                                 Discussion lecturing and activity oriented methods.

How many of you visited beaches?                                           Students puts their hands up.

ok. All of you visited beaches.  Then can you say the             Sea water is saline.
different property of sea water when comparing  with
well water?

Yes, very good. Today we are going to discuss about
SALINITY  OF OCEAN WATER (BBH).
Can you say what is salinity ?                                                      Salt content

Yes, Salinity  of sea water is the amount of salt present in
 sea  water.

   Can you say the name of the salt which cause salinity?     Sodium chloride

Very good . There are many salts in the sea water like
magnesium chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium
sulphate etc.. But NaCl is the main salt which causes
salinity.
           Salinity is usually expressed in number of grams of
 salts dissolved  in 1000 grams of sea water.  The average
salinity of sea water is 35%.
         Next we will go through the factors affecting salinity
                                   Activity 1
Teacher hanged a chart and asked a student to read the
factors affecting salinity.
                      When evaporation increases salinity
increases .
     Salinity will  be comparatively low at estuaries.
    Water reaching oceans from melting ice cause a fall in
salinity.
    In areas where cold and warm currents meet salinity is
comparatively low.





                                ACTIVITY  2

    Teacher give some activity cards and asks the students              Students write the answers.
to fill up the answers.




SUMMARY
      
       Today we discussed the salinity of ocean water. It is the amount of salt present in the sea water.  The average salinity of ocean water is 35% .  There are many factors affect the salinity such as evaporation, precipitation,  presence of    , ocean currents , melting ice etc...
 
REVIEW QUESTION

Ø What is the average salinity of ocean water?
Ø Name a factor which affecting salinity?
