In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.

Students build a model that demonstrates an important contributor to sea-level rise – how water volume increases when the temperature of the water increases.

Students use global temperature data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends.

Students use a spreadsheet model to understand droughts and the movement of water in the water cycle.

Students observe the process and results of transpiration from a plant in their schoolyard.

Using real data from NASA’s GRACE satellites, students will track water mass changes in the U.S.

Students work in teams employing an iterative design process to design and build a water filtration device using commonly available materials.

Students explore the science behind an intriguing planetary feature by creating saline solutions and then observing what happens when the solutions evaporate. Now updated with findings from Mars!

Students learn the difference between land ice and sea ice and make a model to see how the melting of each impacts global sea level.
