Soil Permeability

Project:     Arctic Climate Modeling Program (ACMP)
Subject:Atmospheric Sciences, Snow, Ice & Permafrost
Theme:Permafrost
Grades:5-8

In this lesson, students explore how soil permeability is affected by the presence of permafrost and discuss how this might affect vegetation. (NOTE: This lesson will require more than one class period as it requires freezing overnight. Students should have a basic understanding of permafrost before this lesson.)
