Has anyone watched "Ice on Fire"?

Andrea Wong

I have a few days coming up where I will miss some of my classes due to testing. I am trying to find a good documentary that I can show to the classes I still meet with. I found "Ice on Fire" in our school film database but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. It isn't exactly recent (2019) but seems to be on topic with discussing ways to reduce carbon emissions. Has anyone watched this? Is it worth exploring for a lesson? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for something I can show?

  • I haven't seen Ice on Fire. I still show the BBC Frozen Planet series' episode, On Thin Ice. Unfortunately I haven't found more recent videos to use in class but everyone loves Sir David Attenborough and it does a very good job of explaining why the rapid warming at the poles should concern all of us. And having a video that's a few years older means you can say something about how much MORE ice has melted in the years since the video was made. Which can make the urgency of climate change come to life. 

  • I have not seen it! But thanks for the idea. Another documentary could be Inventing Tomorrow. It follws highschoolers from four different parts of the world (Hawaii, Indonesia, Mexico, and India) as they prep for a huge international science fair.  Each of their four projects was inspired by a local climate issue they are facing!
