New Procedure

Step1: Find the history of Antarctica.

Step2: We will find out what is the natural inviorment of Antarctica.

Step3: Find out what kinds of creatures live in Antarctica Penguins, Seals, and Birds, Whales etc.

Step4: Find out how many different species of Antarctica animals there are currently.

Step5: Find the population of each type of species of animals in Antarctica.

Step6: Research which Antarctica animals are extinct, endangered, and are on the verge of becoming endangered.

Step7: Find what cause/ and what is currently causing Antarctic Animals extinction/ endangerment.

Step8: Find out if global warming/pollution from the rest of the world was the cause of the Ice declined in Antarctica.

Step9: Find out if pollution on the continent on Antarctica that made most of it Ice melt.

Step10: Learn the size and status of the ozone hole.

Step11: Find out if mining done in Antarctica could of caused it damaged.

Step12: Learn the rate of speed of Antarctica's Ice sheets.

Step13: Give an explanation of what will happen to Antarctica and the rest of the world If pollution and hunting continues.

Step14: Create a graph showing the status of Antarctica current threats such as Ice melting, animal endanger, etc.

Step 15: Give a possible solution, for all what was being done.

Step 16: Make an ice model of Antarctica.

Step 17: Make a short documentary with the ice model that shows what will happen to Antarctica over the next decades or so, use data from recorded ice melt rates.

Currently we are working on

QUESTION: Does Global warming have any affect on Antarctica?

HYPOTHESIS: When I hear the words global warming I think of the earth heating up causing ice to melt which raises the sea level. I think that a global disaster might happen. I have always seen photos of Antarctica melting and I always been curious of the future of Antarctica.
We believe Antarctica is being affected by global warming, but in different ways than Greenland and the Polar ice caps. It will be dangerous for animals that live there and other continents?

Since this is a secondary research project we will only be using print and non print resources.
