Antarctica: Effects of Salinity on Icebergs
Students investigate the effects of salinity on icebergs. In this hands on lesson, students design and conduct an investigation into how the amount of salt in ice affects its buoyancy.
Curated OER
Icebergs Ahead!
Students examine icebergs and how they are suspended in water, why ice floats, the melting process of an iceberg, and the floating behavior of ice compared to that of a cork through a lab activity.

Glaciers and Icebergs
Middle schoolers conduct an experiment on glacial scraping. In this glacial scraping lesson, students create a small glacier in a plastic cup. Middle schoolers remove the cup and scrape the glacier across wood and note the markings....

When Floating Ice Melts in the Sea
With this simple inquiry exercise young scientists observe the effects of melting ice on water level. Set up an easy experiment with floating ice cubes in a dish of water then have your pupils make and record their observations of the...

Cruise Icebergs and Islands
Students research cruise ships and their different destinations. They conduct research on how cruise ships are built and operated, then using a variety of craft materials design and create a ship and destination for their ship. Students...
Curated OER
Icebergs Ahead!
Students experiment with density of ice, and examine how density affects how icebergs float in water.
Curated OER
Ocean World
In this online interactive science activity, students respond to 7 multiple choice questions regarding icebergs. Students may submit their answers to evaluated.

Sea Water Freeze
Middle schoolers observe how salinity affects the time it takes water to freeze. They participate in an experiment to determine that ice is essentially salt-free whether formed from fresh or salt water

How to Make a Lake
Delve in the creation of the Great Lakes in Michigan. After listening to stories about the formation of the lakes in this area, pupils perform experiments to investigate how this occurred. This provides a great way for learners to...

Art: Iceberg Calves
Students in small groups, research icebergs, including where they are located and the sinking of the Titanic. In addition, they discover the process of calving. Then, using construction paper and paints, students draw and color pictures...

Iceberg Ahead: How Does Temperature Affect the Density of Water?
Demonstrate how ice floats on water and get the class thinking about why icebergs are so deceiving. Investigators then experiment with mixing water of the same temperature and water of different temperatures. Make sure to explain the...

If You Could go to Antarctica
Images of various aspects of Antarctica are displayed in this slideshow, along with a corresponding vocabulary word. There are seven slides in this colorful PowerPoint that show the words: Antarctica, continent, icebergs, penguins,...

Elements of Chemistry: Solids, Liquids and Gases
Students predict if icebergs melting has an effect on the sea level rising. In this global warming lesson students complete an experiment to see the effects of melting icebergs and write a conclusion on their data collected.
Curated OER
The Tip of the Iceberg
Students discover the percentage of an iceberg that is above and below the water surface. They compare salt water icebergs and fresh water icebergs and if they behave the same of differently. They work with their lab group to perform...

Icebergs: Relationship of Ice to Water
Students experience why ice floats and the differences in weight of frozen water to liquid water. Students explore why ice floats. They use math skills such as: graphing, applying procedures, weighing and measuring. Students also use...

When Land Ice Melts
The Artctic and Antarctic Ice caps are the focus of this Earth science lesson plan. In reality, this is more of a demonstration than a lesson plan, but there is some rich discussion that happens before, during, and after the...

Understanding Tsunamis
Learners discover the causes of tsunamis in oceans and fjords. They perform an experiment to discover how calving icebergs can create different wave patterns in the ocean and in a fjord. In addition, they draw a diagram to illustrate the...
Curated OER
Elements In Chemistry: Solids, Liquids and Gases
Learners investigate the kinetic-molecular theory. In this state of matter lesson, students consider the differences of melting glaciers, melting icebergs and investigate on what happens when submerged water melts.
Curated OER
Sea Ice
Students observe the freezing times and temperatures of water with varying levels of salinity. They determine how icebergs form, how they act, and what they may be made of. They discover that salinity level affects the time it takes...

Cold Hard Facts...What Inquiring Minds Will Know
Students work with "ice" in order to gain a practical application of math concepts that evolve into an inquiry-based study. They determine if the dimensions of the ice make a difference in the way the ice floats in the water.
