Scientists
have
studied
the
physical
properties
of
clouds
and
have
developed
instruments
onboard
satellites
to
characterize
the
types
of
clouds
they
see
below.
Some
satellites
have
instruments
that
allow
them
to
measure
rainfall
as
well.
For
this
lesson,
students
will
hypothesize
what
types
of
clouds
they
believe
will
create
the
most
precipitation
(rainfall)
over
Nashville,
TN.
Students
use

This
activity
helps
students
to
understand
the
many
roles
that
polar
sea
ice
plays
in
the
systems
that
maintain
our
planet,
by
first
helping
them
to
understand
the
process
of
the
formation
of
ice
in
oceanic
regimes.
Students
will
use
an
inquiry
based
lab
experience
relating
salt
content
to
the
ability
of
water
to
freeze
in
order
to
begin
this
study.
Specifically,
they
will
design
an
experiment
to

This
guide
provides
instructions
for
educators
on
how
to
use
sea
ice
data
in
the
classroom.
The
data,
from
the
National
Snow
and
Ice
Data
Center
(NSIDC),
describe
sea
ice
concentration
and
extent
of
coverage.
Scientists
use
it
to
monitor
changes
in
the
concentration
and
coverage
of
ice
in
polar
regions
and
to
compare
changes
over
time,
such
as
loss
of
extent.
Topics
include
temporal
trends
in
sea
