Objective
Materials
Activities/Procedure/Questions Give each member a job:
Make a hypothesis on what is going to happen when the ice cube is put in a beaker of water (i.e., how much of it is still on top of water, and what is going to happen when the ice cube melts). Parts person, get all the material; also place 50 ml of water in the beaker (measured out with the graduated cylinder). Technician, you know you need to do the following: place the iceberg (ice cube) in the water; notice how much of iceberg is floating on top of the water; then circle the most accurate percentage (Recorder answers the question). 10% 50% 90% Talk among your group and see what you think is going to happen to the water level when the iceberg melts, then record what you think would happen to the ocean level when the icebergs melt.
Are any of the countries going to be affected by the icebergs melting? If so then why, and where?
Iceberg lab criteria In this lab you are to observe the effects that an iceberg has not only on the ocean, but on the surrounding land. (Remember that the water surrounds all of the countries at some point, you also need to see where the flood plans are in the countries.) I am going to be walking around to see how well your group is working together. I will also look to make sure that everyone is doing his/her job that was assigned. Only the recorder needs to record the information, but everyone needs to participate in the answering of the questions. Everyone should talk about the question before the recorder writes the answer down. This way everyone is participating. Also remember that everyone is going to be responsible for the information, not just the recorder. Just remember that the whole group is getting one grade, so it is to your advantage to keep everyone on task.
