Discovery Education: Glaciers and Icebergs
A lesson plan for simulating glacial scraping with extensions that investigate iceberg towing and iceberg melting.
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Mapping the Glaciers
In this activity, learners will use Minnesota Geological Survey 3-D maps of the upper Midwest to trace the outlines of where they believe glaciers may have affected North America. They will identify landforms that resulted from glacial...

Ucar: Little Ice Age: Where Have All the Glaciers Gone?
In this lesson, young scholars examine images of alpine glaciers to develop an under-standing of how glaciers respond to climate change.
National Earth Science Teachers Association
Windows to the Universe: Changing Planet: Melting Glaciers
Students sort photographs of glaciers and measure glacial retreat to observe how alpine glaciers have retreated over the past century. Includes a printable worksheet, links to relevant materials, and extension activities.

Serc: Glaciers in Our Own Backyard
Learners identify glacial activity and infer how those events shape the area. This lesson involves a filed trip to a location where it is possible to examine glacial events.
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Mn Step: Sinking Water: Glaciers, Ocean Currents and Weather Patterns
A lesson where students learn how warm water is less dense than cold water, and what this means for global climate change as ice from the polar regions melts. Students will do experiments in buoyancy and water density when hot or cold,...

Serc: Geologic Stories: Retreating Waterfalls and Fossils
A geology field investigation where learners investigate fossiliferous limestone, the study local stratigraphy, and understand how glaciers and rivers have shaped the community.
Utah Education Network
Uen: Move It!
Fourth graders explore the erosive effects of waves, streams, glaciers, and wind.
PBS
Nova: Extreme Ice
Students study how scientists monitor changes in Earth's glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets. They investigate about glacier locations, glacial movement, and impacts of climate change on glaciers depending on the depth of research.
Climate Literacy
Clean: Sea Level Rise
Students will learn the difference between sea ice and glaciers in relation to sea level rise using topographic maps.
