Teach students about climate change and sea level rise with this simple, hands-on science experiment. Using three cups of water, children investigate the difference between melting sea ice and land ice (glaciers and ice sheets). They’ll observe how each type of ice affects ocean water levels and understand why melting land ice is a major cause of rising seas. Perfect for a climate change classroom activity, STEM lesson, or environmental science project.
