Nemo was caught in the Great Barrier Reef, northeast of Australia. He was sold and flown to New York City. He has just escaped and jumped into the Atlantic Ocean. Help him get back home! His only chance is to swim with the ocean currents back to his home in the Coral Sea.
Directions: Use the map on the screen as a guide to complete the chart below.
Fill in the name of the currents in order that Nemo took to get back home and identify them as warm or cold water currents.
