Comments from Sharky (The Water)


Hello!!!
I'm happy to see so much progress!
Thank you IES Puigcargol class A for introducing yourselves, it is a pleasure to meet you too!

So let's see what your sea looks like...


Ups! IES Tres Turons Class A, I'm afraid you will have to go over your GPS coordinates. You must say if the latitude is either north or south and your longitude east or west. By the way, are you sure your location is at longitude 42º?

And IES Tres Turons Class B, check-up the year with the largest and smallest SST oscillation it looks like you have got a little confused there.

Ok, so you all insist that you live around a sea that is like a lake because you have no tides!!! But is it really? Then how would you explain the differences between the monthly SST and your data, Puigcargol and Tres Turons don't have the same results! And you don't agree either with the year of smallest SST oscillation. How is it possible?

As I told you before, have a look at the shape of your beaches, it might give you an idea. Otherwise you can always ask the collaborators of the Oceans project. Your teacher has a detailed list!

Looking forward to your comments, data and photos of your beach!!!

-Common name in the local language
-Common name in English (only if local language is not English)
-Scientific name
-Percentage that represents the annual turn over

-Any other information of YOUR INTEREST!

Once you have finished you can publish it and post the link provided by Piktochart on this blog to share it!

Comments from Sharky!!! (The Water)


Hello!!!! I'm Sharky and the S'Agulla Team have told me that you are studying my environment, the SEA!!!

So let's see what have you found out so far...

Ups! IES Tres Turons and IES Frederic Martí still have to put up their data. Come on, we are looking forward to know what the sea is like where you are!!!

Wow! Is the Mediterranean Sea like a lake???? You hardly have tides! But is it really???
As soon as we have the data from the other beaches we will see if it is all even as in a lake or different...

In any case I will give you a hint: now with the activity number 3 you are also going to look at your beach from above. What shape does it have? Is it a straight strip of sand as you find in lakes or is it rather triangular? 

If you still cannot understand what may be the cause of your results you can always ask the collaborators of the Oceans project. Your teacher has a detailed list!

Great to speak to you! And please post the photos of your beach, do not make me cross the whole Ocean to see it!!! THANK YOU!!!
