This classroom activity has students graph and analyze chemical concentrations from ice core data. They will be analyzing some of the actual data that United States International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE) scientists obtained from Antarctica when they drilled into the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to collect ice cores for data on past sulfate, sodium, and chloride ion concentrations. The data will eventually be used to help understand global climate change. This activity has a stated objective, a list of materials, procedure, activity answer, and links for more information.
