Fascinate students with this in-depth look at glaciers and broaden their knowledge of the water cycle. The program illustrates the development of glaciers in different stages, including their movement, their effects on mountain features and landforms, and their advancement and retreat. Through clear explanations, demonstrations, and computer imagery, students will see how the hydrologic cycle influences the buildup of ice and snow during periods of global cooling and will understand both the short and long-term effects of glaciation.

After watching this program, students will be able to explain all the things that compose glaciers and how they form, understand how glaciers move, differentiate between continental and alpine glaciers, discuss the effects of glaciers on Earth's topography and landforms, and consider how glaciers have affected humans in the past and how they may influence our lives in the future. 25 minutes. Grades 7-12.

A Teacher's Guide, Student Worksheets, and Answer Key can be downloaded from the Clearvue website. The Teacher's Guide features learning objectives, tips on presenting the program, vocabulary, discussion starters, review questions and activities, and glossary.
