Ripples of Change: Investigating Elements Impacting Sea Level Rise and Mitigations

1 votes with an average rating of 1.

Students will use evidence from an investigation to model and explain how thermal expansion of land and sea ice impact the sea level. They will quantify the impact of land ice melt and thermal expansion on sea level using mathematical reasoning to communicate the significance of ice melt percent change and through graphical analysis. Finally, students will design and build a model of a coastal structure that can withstand the impact of rising sea levels due to land ice melt and thermal expansion.
