SIRS Discoverer Activity | Polar Ice: Necessary?
If last summer's record-melting trend continues, the ice that usually floats on the surface of the Arctic Sea year-round may be gone by the end of September. More than 70% of the current Arctic sea ice is less than a year old and a mere 60" deep. Get students thinking about this timely topic by asking: "Do we really need polar ice?" (Activity Archives)
eLibrary Elementary | An Ice-Free North Pole?
"We're actually projecting this year that the North Pole may be free of ice for the first time in history," said David Barber, of the University of Manitoba. ProQuest has created a BookCart activity for you to use with students for this topic. (Activity Archives)
