Mountains

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Mountains are described and some of the more famous listed along with their altitudes. Climate, glaciers, and avalanches are also covered. Because there is a copious amount of text on each slide, this would be best used by assigning individuals or pairs of students to view it together on a computer. Create a reading comprehension worksheet to accompany the activity.
