Lesson Planet
This Who Will Melt First? lesson plan also includes:
If the Greenland ice sheet melted, sea levels would rise by about 20 ft; if the Antarctic ice sheet melted, sea levels would rise by 200 ft. Scholars explore ice melting through the analysis of different ice samples, clean and dirty ice. Participants then explore how albedo effects the rate of ice melting and explain the effects on climate change.
