Capillary Action and Water
This video discusses how adhesion and cohesion work together to create capillary action! There is an experiment at the end of the video to demonstrate this as well! If you would like to do the experiment with us you will need: 1) Coffee filter 2) Washable marker 3) Glass of water
Lesson 11d: Using SeaSketch to View 3DEP Lidar Areas of Interest
In this lesson you will learn how to zoom to your area of interest and view the footprints of existing and proposed topographic lidar projects. The Integrated Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping and the 3D Elevation Program or 3DEP are demonstrating how we can work together to coordinate on mapping requirements and plans of Federal and state agencies around the
