Ice Cores

In this practical activity students analyse ice cores extracted from the icy worlds of Enceladus or Europa. This resource provides information about Enceladus and worksheets for both qualitative and quantitative analyses. In the video, Steve Althorpe explains how ice cores containing minerals can be made and then analysed by the students. Adding solutions to the ice cores enables students to perform titrations on the filtered liquid, once the ice core has melted. Curriculum areas covered: • Qualitative analysis • Inorganic formulae • Acid base titration • Oxidation states and redox reactions
