Let the current of life's river carry you along." But, in life, that is not always the best way to get where you want to go. In this game, you "Go with the Flow" only after you have fixed the currents to take you where you want to go. Remember just two rules: Salt makes water heavier, so it sinks.Heat makes water lighter, so it rises. In your "current management" toolbox, you have If you have tasted the ocean, you know it is very salty. Oops, that's not quite right. If the ocean water is warmer than the lake water, the ocean water might not sink. See, it's not simple! And what goes on in the ocean is really complicated. The ocean is salty, but some parts are more salty than others. But the ocean is big. This animation shows an example of the area covered by Arctic sea ice in winter and in summer.

Home - Gymnasium for Brain Pages — Beyond Weather & The Water Cycle Discover the world's most endangered species Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade. Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation.
