Polar Ice Caps

9.  What happens if polar ice caps melt?
If the polar ice caps melt, chunks of ice from frozen glaciers could enter the ocean and cause a slight increase in the ocean level.  The rising temperature could also affect sea levels if the main ice covering the Antartic were to melt.  Sea levels around the world could be impacted.  It could also cause a change in the temperature of the sea.

5 E's reflection

I thought the 5 E's lesson format was more useful for a unit plan. It was difficult to tweak it for my lesson plan. The basics of the lesson plan template are similar to what I use currently but parts of it seemed redundant. I feel that's more suited for a science unit.

Technology is difficult for me to incorporate in many lessons. In my building, we have one computer lab with 30 computers for 1,000 students. In my classroom, I do have an interactive whiteboard but haven't had any training on how to use it :(
