With simple materials from around the house like ice cubes, cups, water, and a little imagination, she creates two mini experiments to test what happens when land ice and sea ice melt. Her goal is to understand the science behind rising oceans and why some ice has a bigger impact than others. With Blue and Oreo by her side (and occasionally in the way), Adeline observes the different in floating sea ice and ice on land ice. As she records her findings, she learns about buoyancy, displacement, and the real-world consequences of climate change. Her playful cats bring humor and unexpected moments, turning science into an adventure. Perfect for curious kids in grades 3 to 5, this engaging, STEM-powered story blends storytelling, real science, and hands-on learning.
