Let's create continuous conversations about climate change education: Spreading the Sediment of Science!

Lesson Plans

Lesson Plan
In this lesson, students practice volume and surface area formulas and use geometry to investigate how the melting of all the ice in Antarctica would impact sea level rise. 

Inquire: Students speculate how one could use geometry to calculate the water level produced by a melting block of ice placed on a classroom table.
Investigate: Students follow mathematical steps to answer the question “How much would sea levels rise if Antarctica melted?”
Inspire: Students explore the effects of sea level rise on coastal communities and the measures being taken to build resilience.
