CHANGE



Sea Level Rise ExperimentName: __________________________________________________________ Date: _____________ Period: _______Learning Objectives:Students will be able to design a sea level measurement instrument and build a simple working model.Students will be able to link changes in sea level to climate change.455549012509500Materials:- 1 gallon milk jug- Measuring Tape- Ice- Scissors- Glue/Adhesive- Water- Plastic Plate Procedure:Remove the top from the milk jug using a pair of scissors.Tape measuring tape to the side of the handle. Fill the milk jug with tap water so that the water level falls within the measuring tape area.Continue the experiment testing different factors that will contribute to the rise of sea level. What factors Influence Sea Level Rise?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Make predictions:What happens to the sea level when each of the following happen:Floating ice or icebergs melt ___________________________________________________________The temperature of the water heats up _______________________________________________Ice on land melts and the water runs into the ocean _________________________________The water gets colder ___________________________________________________________________ObservationsTreatmentSimulate floating ice or icebergs:ADD 10 cubes of iceGlacier or Continental Ice:ADD 10 ice cubes to the plate and place on top of milk jug.Original Sea Level +/- (mm) Final Sea Level +/- (mm) Difference in Sea Level +/- (mm)Class Data:Average sea level rise. Application:Explain how you think the information gathered during this lab could be helpful to scientist who are studying climate change science?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Conclusions and Data Analysis: Which treatments increase sea level in your simulator, why do you think this happened? Which treatment caused the greatest amount sea level rise, why do you think this is the case? How could climate change factors influence the Phenomena of Sea Level Rise? Explain. Explain what is pictured and how its melting would contribute to sea level rise:35782252667007702554254503621600107610008202307066000Visit HYPERLINK "" \t "_blank" to answer the following questions. Pick 3 addresses of important places or people who live in the Tampa Bay, using the NOAA model determine how many feet of sea level rise would cover that specific location. Based on the information above, what types of impact will sea level rise have on the Tampa Bay’s built (man-made) environment? ................
