Polar Layers

This worksheet asks students to answer multiple-choice questions about the layers of the Arctic Ocean and how seasonal changes affect sea ice. It reinforces key science concepts such as water density, heat loss, and the influence of sunlight on the polar environment. Students must use their understanding of climate patterns to choose the best answer for each question. The activity helps them build foundational knowledge about how the Arctic Ocean functions.

This worksheet strengthens science comprehension by having students interpret information about Arctic oceanography. It also improves critical-thinking skills as students must select the most accurate explanation from similar options. The focus on environmental cause-and-effect supports analytical reasoning tied to real-world climate science. Overall, it helps students practice applying scientific vocabulary and knowledge to structured questions.
