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...

Students predict if icebergs melting has an effect on the sea level rising.  In this global warming lesson plan students complete an experiment to see the effects of melting icebergs and write a conclusion on their data collected.

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

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.

Students explain how melting glaciers affect global warming. In this earth science lesson, students investigate the change in ice density as it melts. They discuss the human and environmental impact of rising sea levels.

Pupils 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.

Students examine the different features of culture. They determine which features are visible and invisible. They describe how the two types affect each other.

With this simple inquiry exercise, young scientists observe the effects of melting ice on the 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...

Middle schoolers 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...

Students examine the Michigan state quarter and discuss the effects glaciers have on land formation. They perform an investigate using ice cubes and sand to show how glaciers have carved the land.

Students 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.

Young scholars explore the possible effects of global warming. In this geography/global warming lesson, students identify regions using an atlas and complete a global warming worksheet. Young scholars perform an experiment in which they...

Students experiment with density of ice, and examine how density affects how icebergs float in water.

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

Students explore the stages in the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. They hypothesize about the source of rain and search for forms of water on Earth.

Fifth graders use common household items to build landforms and simulate weathering and erosion.

Students examine how to conserve water. They also discover how to prevent water pollution. They examine the Earth's water distribution as well.

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.

Students being the lesson by identifying the characteristics of icebergs. Using a worksheet, they read the characteristics of a few of the major cultures found throughout the world and see how many they can identify when viewing a person...

Students 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...

Students observe a model of the distribution of the earth's water and compare the relative volumes and percentages of types of water on earth.

Students display their knowledge of sea ice. In this earth science lesson, students create displays reflecting their understanding of sea ice.Students research the development of sea ice on a variety of bodies of...

Students investigate what happens when land ice melts. They discuss how the melting of land ice is different than the melting of icebergs. Students observe what happens as the ice melts.
