Participants will investigate how melting icebergs versus saltwater ice affects water levels by comparing two simple container experiments. Using frozen “icebergs” participants will also measure what percentage floats above the surface to understand how density determines buoyancy. Through prediction, measurement, and observation, participants explore why most of an iceberg remains underwater and why only land based ice contributes to sea level rise. The combined activities build foundational understanding of matter, melting, and real world climate impacts.
