A) What happens if he polar ice caps melt?
Based from the following website, http://www.nrdc.org/globalwarming/qthinice.asp,
the polar ice caps are already melting quickly and affecting the lives of those living in the arctic. This is also having a huge affect on plants and animals of the region as well. With the ice caps melting, land, people, animals, plants, and other things will be affected. However, scientists project only a 3 foot rise in sea level by 2100. For us, this is a long time away! For our children's children, this might become more of an issue! Over a long period of time, sea levels will rise. The more they rise, the more potential for a major disaster.
B) What other questions do you have about this science inquiry experience?
What grade level would this experiment align with?
Great research! I feel as though younger generations cannot grasp how important it is to do something about this now. My students seem very unemotional about things if it will not directly harm their lives. My problem is getting my students to see how important it is for us to help out now before it's too late.
