over
Antarctica
each
summer,
and
compare
its
size

ImageJ,
users
quantify
the

each
October
from
1996
to

This
activity
prepares
the
student
to
launch
an
investigation
of
the
relationship
between
precipitation
and
Streamflow
for
a
local
watershed.
It
can
enrich
a
study
of
the
water
cycle.
Following
the
step-by-step
instruction
in
this
case
study,
students
will
locate,
download,
format,
and
finally
graph
one
year
of

students
learn
about
atmospheric
carbon

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,
