This
two-part
activity
provides
information
on
seasonal
changes
in
the
mass
balance
of
the
Antarctic
Ice
Sheet.
In
Part
1,
students
use
an
atlas
and
satellite
imagery
to
examine
the
geography
of
the
region
and
identify
seasonal
changes
in
the
boundaries
of
the
ice
sheet.
In
Part
2,
they
will
collect
a
series
of
images
of
the
Antarctic
ice
sheet
covering
a
period
of
several
years,
draw
the
boundaries

This experiment uses the heating of water to explore the concepts of density and volume. Students learn about the transfer of heat energy within the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and Earth's interior, and connect this transfer to differences in density, which in turn result in motion. As part of the investigation, students will also become familiar with the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales.
