Plan, carry out, and interpret results of a scientific investigation.
Explain why melting land ice causes sea levels to rise, but melting sea ice does not.
Recognize the far-reaching effects of global climate change.

","materials","

For each group, prepare:

8 Sticks of modeling clay.
1 Ruler
1 Tray of ice cubes
One liter of water
1 Sea Level Rise Data worksheet
Two identical clear storage boxes about 6” square.

","preparation","

Have all materials ready and accessible to students.

","worksheets","multimedia","steps","

Ask students what they know about the weather and climate and how they work. Also, discuss with students what they know about climate change. Introduce the activity they will be doing.
Instruct students to do the following:
- Place half of the clay into one side of each box. Form the clay to represent land rising out of the ocean.
- Place about 6 ice cubes on the “land” (clay) in the first box. Place the same number of ice cubes next to the clay in the second box, so that they are resting on the bottom of the container.
- Pour water into the container where the ice is resting on the bottom until the ice is floating. Not resting on the bottom.
- Pour water into the container with the ice resting on the clay until the water levels in the two containers are approximately equal.
Have students measure and record initial measurements of water depth (in mm). They can draw a line in the clay at the initial water level.
Leave the setup. Students should measure the water depth every hour (or other regular interval) and record the results, until the ice is completely melted.
Have each group graph their results on the board or chart paper (see sample graph on next page) and display the graphs so everyone can see.
Have a discussion about global climate change. Use the following questions to generate discussion:
- Why might we be concerned about sea level rise? [Coastal areas will be flooded. People will lose their homes. Habitat loss will occur, etc.]
- What can we do to help slow this process? [Take public transit, eat local foods, turn off lights, etc.]
