Students plot the current distribution of glaciers around the Earth and see if there any major trends where glaciers appear to be either growing or shrinking at abnormally high rates.

Pupils investigate how glaciers flow through valleys. They answer discussion questions, and in small groups create a simulation of a glacier using a plastic shoe box, water, cornstarch, and pebbles, evaluating their results on a worksheet.

Students discover where glaciers exist and how they move. In this glacier instructional activity, students work in groups to create a glacier in a replica valley and observe its properties.

In this bellwork worksheet, students answer questions about the Hawaiian islands formation, about science class in general, about rocks and minerals and about experimental design.

In this plate tectonics worksheet, students list the major and minor plates. Students determine which plates correspond to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Ring of Fire. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank questions.

This interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain shows the relationship between tectonic boundaries and the locations of earthquake events and volcanoes around the world.
