Students read six steps describing how sea ice forms in the Southern Ocean and number them in the correct order. The sequence includes freezing surface water, frazil ice formation, slushy mixtures, wave-broken sheets, and the growth of solid sea ice. This activity strengthens understanding of physical processes, ordering skills, and cause-and-effect reasoning.
