Make ‘seawater’ in a bowl by adding 35g of sea salt to 1L of tap water. Add a freshwater ‘iceberg’ (ice cube) and ask the children to make regular observations and record what happens to the iceberg. Explain that they are going to carry out an investigation to find out what factors change the rate at which an 'iceberg' melts. Ask the children to consider which variables they could test, such as air temperature, ‘sea’ temperature or 'sea' turbulence. The children should select a variable to test before planning a fair test, using the Investigation planning sheet. After carrying out their investigations, encourage them to feedback their results to the class, discussing similarities and differences. Discuss how their results relate to real-life increases in global temperatures and how this is accelerating the break up of ice shelves and glaciers, leading to the calving and melting of icebergs.
