Identifying Sea Ice

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

In this lesson, students will use the Yupik Sea Ice Dictionary and interview local Elders and hunters to learn local native language terms for different kinds of marine ice. (Note: students in Savoonga and Gambell can find local terms for sea ice in the dictionary, and may not need to interview community members to determine these terms.)
