Watch this video showing changes in land ice from 2002-2016. This video and graphs represent land ice changes in both Greenland (North Pole) and Antarctica (South Pole).

Land ice is ice located on the land and not in the ocean.

What is one Need, or question(s) you have? List specific question(s) you want to review as a class.

Slide H shows the population density or how many people live in a certain area for our three communities. What could you do to calculate the population density?
Add the number of people living in the location to the square miles
Subtract the number of people living in the location from the square miles
Multiply the number of people living in the location to the square miles
Divide the number of people living in the location by the square miles
Where is most ice found on Earth?
Mountains
Polar ice- At the North and South Poles of the Earth
Other ice on land (i.e. frozen lakes, streams, snow etc.)
What do you think? Could ice melt at the North and South Poles contribute to these storms?
Yes
No
Not sure
What does the blue line represent?
September (End of Summer) in Arctic
February (End of Summer) in Antarctic
What does the red line represent?
September (End of Summer) in Arctic
February (End of Summer) in Antarctic
What do the colors represent on each land mass? Choose all that apply.
White- ice sitting on land
White- land without ice
White- Ice shelves connected to land but not directly on top of land
Light Gray-ice sitting on land
Light Gray- land without ice
Light Gray-Ice shelves connected to land but not directly on top of land
Dark Gray- ice sitting on land
Dark Gray- land without ice
Dark Gray-Ice shelves connected to land but not directly on top of land
Based on the video and images, what is true about the colors on the key? Choose all that apply
Darker colors show more land ice was lost over time
Darker colors show less land ice was lost over time
Higher negative value means more land ice loss
Lower negative values means more land ice loss
Compare land ice changes at each Pole? Greenland vs. Antarctica Choose all that apply
Greenland has less land ice than Antarctica
Greenland has more land ice than Antarctica
Greenland is losing ice at a faster rate than Antarctica
Antartica is losing ice at a faster rate than Greenland
The rate of ice loss in both Greenland and Antarctica are about the same

The rate of rise in sea leve is relatively constant
The rate of rise in sea level is increasing
The rate of rise in sea level is decreasing
You need more information to be able to tell
Reflection: How would you rate yourself on how you performed your group role?
Excellent- I was thoughtful about my role and made sure to do my part
Good- I understood my role and contributed
Ok- I knew my role but didn't really understand how to use it or didn't use it much
Not good- I wasn't aware of my role, forgot my role or didn't think about using it all while working
How would you rate the collaboration in general from your group?
Excellent- We had a clear process for how we were working, everyone contributed, followed their role, and seemed comfortable working together
Good- We had a clear process for how we were working, everyone knew what to do and we checked with each other when needed.
Ok- We didn't have a clear process for how to work together and/or we sometimes checked in with each other.
Not Good- We didn't have a clear process for how to work, we all did it alone with little to no checking in with each other while working
