The Science of Climate Change Mini Exhibit

Overview

This mini exhibit explores the science behind climate change and introduces current climate change research to the public. Panels cover the topics of changing climate, ocean acidification and sea level rise, giving examples of how data is collected and current research in these fields. The exhibit also provides websites for further exploring climate change impacts.

How is Glacier Goo Similar to a Real Glacier?

Purpose

Glaciers are slow-moving masses of ice that exist where more snow falls than melts. They occupy about 10% of the Earth’s land, mostly in Greenland and Antarctica. Here, glaciers can be as much as 2 miles thick and weigh more than millions of tons. As they move, glaciers can widen and deepen valleys, flatten forests and grind boulders

Acidity and Climate Change in the Arctic

Purpose

To apply prior knowledge of chemistry to the acidification of our oceans. This can be a computer lab or library based activity

Procedure

1. Set up a glass tank in your classroom and grow a population of algae in water. Local pet supply stores will most likely give you some for free from their fish tanks! 2
