Does anyone know of any kind of simple way to make a sort of ice sampler? I have to make one that collects ice, and I'm not quite sure where to begin.

If anyone has any ideas, I would be eternally grateful!!

 

Thanks!!!

do you mean like ice cores?

 

i think we're going to need to know more about exactly what you want it to do for us to help you.

My brother has always said I was terrible at explaining things

 

I will try my best to explain this. I am doing a science fair project about water on mars. Since water does not really exist in liquid form on mars, I need to do it with ice instead. The main idea of my project is to build several different apparatuses that can find/ bring up the ice. I hope I have made this more clear to you.

 

Thanks!

How about a shovel that picks up some dirt (an auger would work also), and then the dirt is gently heated, and the gasses that are produced are analyzed by some...device.
