Using sea ice extent and carbon dioxide data, students make predictions about future sea ice extent using simple statistics to evaluate a linear relationship. Students compare Arctic and Antarctic conditions.

Students analyze two different ice core models (made of layers of ice frozen in pringles cans) to observe changes in past climates.

Students use a simple model to compare sea level rise due to melting land ice versus melting sea ice.

Students explore the different heat absorption of ice and open water using a simple experimental set up.
