This month, NASA eClips™ presents:
– Our World: ICESat-2 Measures Ice Sheets (Grades K-5)
Why is NASA interested in Earth’s ice? The creation of ICESat-2 is allowing NASA’s scientists to make accurate maps of polar ice sheets. These maps help them make informed predictions about weather patterns, climate change and the effects of changing ice structures. The maps are so accurate they can measure to within 3 centimeters (1.17 inches) of an ice sheet’s actual thickness from a huge distance!
– Our World: What Is Ice? (Grades K-5)
Water has some very unique properties, but what are they? What do they mean for us? Water, unlike other types of matter, is less dense as a solid than as a liquid. This means more than simply floating cubes in a cold drink. The various forms of water allow life on our world to thrive!
– Real World: ICESat-2 and Earth’s Cryosphere (Grades 6-8)
Earth’s cryosphere, one of Earth’s six spheres, is composed of all its frozen structures including sea ice, ice caps and permafrost. Understanding changes in the cryosphere provides scientists with valuable information about the past, present and future of the planet. Amazingly, 99 percent of Earth’s fresh water is held in two massive ice sheets. ICESat-2 is a satellite designed to help scientists learn more about Earth’s ice and the role ice plays in climate.
– Launchpad: ICESat-2 – Next Generation Technology (Grades 9-12)
Learn how the second generation of the Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite, better known as ICESat-2, is being used to map the ice structures in the world’s polar regions. Manipulating the distribution of photons by lasers to create accurate images of these frozen structures allows scientists to study their changes and impact on Earth’s climate.
