How To Play:
1. After accessing the map, click on the edit button found on the tool bar located just below the map title, Drifter Prediction Map.
2. Use the harzard icon (aka, the "scary face" icon) to place on the map your prediction of where each drifter will be in 7 days.(Please know that drifters can go dark, however, when damaged by storms, hit by ships, or when batteries fail.)
3. Complete the dialogue box with your name, location, and comments. Location is easily determined by clicking on the parallel of latitude and meridian of longitude to identify the closest coordinates that mark your prediction.
4.
Use category 1 to designate your prediction for the drifter that is cruising near
Long Island
; use
category 2
for the drifter that is near
George's Bank
; and use
category 3
for the drifter that is closest to the
mid-Atlantic Ridge
.
(You may need to toggle between the "edit" function and "details" function on the map in order to complete all of the information. You can open and close your dialogue box to edit your own placements, including deleting your own placements and starting anew.)
5. Finally, upload of photo of yourself (or family) so that others can see who is playing; alternatively, upload a science-related image.
