INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT FLUBBER!

"Flubber" offers a terrific simulation for the movement of glacial ice. It is inexpensive to make, stores well, and can be re-used. Students of all ages enjoy watching, measuring, and thinking about it.

This session will demonstrate activities that have been used with elementary, middle-, and high school classes, both in small groups and for whole-class demonstrations.

As the interest in ice sheets continues to build, leave Evansville with some activities that help to illustrate how glaciers move, and also provide a launch pad for student-driven investigations. With support from the National Science Foundation's Science and Technology Center for the Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS), a set of inquiry-based activities has been developed that provide opportunities to address physical science and Earth science standards in your curriculum.
