In this lesson, students explore the active layer above permafrost and begin a longterm investigation of frost depth. (NOTE: This lesson requires a frost tube in your community. If one has not already been installed, a frost tube can be installed at your school by following the steps in the TEACHER INFORMATION SHEET: “Frost Tube Installation,” included in this lesson. If possible, the frost tube should be installed in summer or early fall.)
