I do not have much prior knowledge about this topic. I have heard about he greenhouse effect and how it is affecting our ice caps but I had no idea it could be this bad and this quick.
A. What happens if the polar ice caps melt?
I believe that the low lying areas will be flooded. If 75% of our global fresh water is stored in glaciers and the glaciers melt then the water will have to go somewhere. The low lying areas around the world will be affected the worst I feel.
B. What other questions do you have about this Science Inquiry Experience?
I was curious how I might teach this lesson to my Pre-K students. This lesson seems to take a while to complete and explain and with a four year old you do not have that much time with their attention span.
If or when this happens will scientists be able to warn the people of the world in time to save them?
Dawn,
ReplyDeletei understand your situation; teaching such a complicated topic to pre-K students. It can be quite challenging. I'm looking at using pictures. what do you think?
