Climate Detectives Kids Activities 2023-2024
Activity: The ice is melting – How can we investigate the effects of melting ice?
Brougham Primary School Hartlepool United Kingdom
We were testing to see how sea levels would change if land ice and sea ice melted. We set up an experiment using 2 cups filled with water. Cup 1 had a block of ice placed into it which represented sea ice. Cup 2 had playdough in the bottom of it with a piece of ice on top to represent land ice. We watched each ice cube melt into the cups and found that the land ice cup over flowed but the sea ice cup did not. We have learnt that sea ice is not massively contributing to rising sea levels but land ice is because it is melting and then flowing into oceans causing the sea levels to rise.
Projects are created by the teams and they take the full responsibility of the shared data. ← All activities
