This activity makes a good kinesthetic activity.  For the Coriolis
acceleration, designate an origin, then ask students to hold their arm out in
the direction of $\rr$, then to determine the direction of $\Omega\times\rr$,
and finally to determine the direction of $-\Omega\times(\Omega\times\rr)$.
For the Coriolis accelerations, ask students to stand up and face in any
direction they choose --- their velocity $\vv_R$ --- then have them work out
the direction of $-\Omega\times\vv_R$.
