Ice Caps: Physical Changes Lesson

In this lesson, students engage in activities and experiments, applying their learning to understand climate change-induced sea level rise.

Step 1 - Inquire: Students explore the idea of physical state and changing states through a variety of activities and simulations.

Step 2 - Investigate: Students conduct an experiment to investigate the real-world problem of melting ice caps through the lens of changing states.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students reflect on the impact of sea level rise and how it may affect specific individuals and create a model to represent the changing states of matter in the ocean due to climate change.
