The outcome of this activity is rather obvious: when continental ice sheets melt, sea level rises, and could rise by several metres if all the world’s land-based ice sheets and glaciers melt. However, taken with the work on the ‘sea ice’ in the 'Melting ice and sea level change 1 – sea ice' Earthlearningidea activity (where melting does not cause sea level rise) it will remind pupils of what happens and should enable them to handle press reports more critically.
