Discovering the Arctic Ocean: Lesson on Water Cycle & Geography
Delve into the Arctic Ocean and explore the intricate water cycle through this engaging lesson targeted at ages 7-11. Join Dr. Mark Brandon on a mission to uncover how water shapes the Arctic landscape, from solid ice to gaseous vapor, in a hands-on exploration of evaporation, precipitation, and condensation. Enhance geographical knowledge by labeling key features and understanding the impact of temperature on water movement.

Lesson 2: The Arctic Ocean and the water cycle Brief from Dr Mark Brandon Welcome to the Arctic, I m Dr Mark Brandon, and I ll be your mission leader today. The Arctic is very cold and not many things or people live here. But incredibly, most of the features here are made by just one substance: water! Solid water, liquid water and water as a gas, it s all here helping to create a magical place. So, your mission today is to find out how water moves about in the Arctic, helping to shape this place. Dr Mark Brandon 4
Lesson 2: The Arctic Ocean and the water cycle The Arctic Where do you think the total amount of rain and snow is greater? Why do you think this? How would you test this? Belfast 5

Lesson 2: The Arctic Ocean and the water cycle Considering your observations Question 1 Josh says: Water evaporates faster in warmer conditions. How does your experiment support his conclusion? Question 2 Jamie says: Water boils at 100 C. Does the experiment support this conclusion? Why? 9
Lesson 2: The Arctic Ocean and the water cycle Considering your observations Question 3 What could be done to improve the experiment? 10
Lesson 2: The Arctic Ocean and the water cycle Final thoughts from Dr Mark Brandon The world and our ocean are truly amazing places, but you ll never see them by staying at home! So go out and explore; just remember to take your camera with you. 11
