FACTivity – Mangrove ManiaScience · Life Science · Grades 6–8Activity

All the world’s ice can be divided into two types: sea ice (icebergs) and sheet ice (ice on land). Although both types of ice are at risk of melting if the average global temperature of the Earth increases, they have very different effects on the global sea level. In this activity, you will investigate what effect land ice will have on sea level. The activity also includes an extension where students will compare this experiment to the melting of a glacier. Materials needed: Glass baking dish Sm Topics: Active Forest Management, Water, Climate Change, Experiment, Glaciers, Indoor Activity, Land Ice, Modeling.
