Objective
Demonstrate how melting ice caps and glaciers influence sea levels.
Materials
- Clear container
- Water
- Ice cubes (to represent glaciers/ice caps)
- Marker
- Notebook for observations
Instructions
- Fill the container with water to represent the ocean.
- Add ice cubes to the water to simulate glaciers and ice caps.
- Mark the initial water level with a marker.
- Observe and record the changes in water level as the ice melts in your notebook.
- Note how much the water level rises once all the ice has melted.
- Repeat the experiment to ensure accuracy and consistency in your results.
- Analyze your results to understand the potential impact of melting ice on real-world sea levels.
