This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities.
This activity invites students to model and observe the effect of melting ice sheets (from land) on sea level and the difference between the effect of melting sea-ice to that of melting land ice on sea level.
Students watch the video Frozen Earth and answer the following questions that discuss how ice helps moderate the planet's temperature using NASA satellites.
This lesson is taken from NASA's Phytopia: Discovery of the Marine Ecosystem written in partnership with Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Science with funding from the National Science Foundation.
Students use Phytopia: Exploration of the Marine Ecosystem, a computer-based tool, to investigate various phytoplankton species and topics relating to phytoplankton biology.
Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.
My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, story maps, for use in educational settings.
This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
