Glacier National Park - The Work of Water

The video explores how water shapes the landscape of Glacier National Park. Students are guided to build a model using clay, sand, and soil, adding elements like rocks and trees. Water is introduced to the model, and students predict and observe the effects of erosion and sediment deposition. The video concludes with a reflection on geological processes and the park's historical significance.

What materials are suggested for creating a model of Glacier National Park's landscape?

• Clay, sand, and potting soil

• Plastic and metal

• Wood and paper

• Glass and rubber

What is the purpose of adding water to the model?

• To test the durability of the materials

• To simulate the effects of erosion, weathering, and deposition

• To make the model look more realistic

• To clean the model

What tool is suggested for adding water to the model?

• A watering can

• A hose

• A spray bottle

• A bucket

What might happen to sediment layers if they remain undisturbed for millions of years?

• They would disappear completely

• They would become sand dunes

• They could form rocks under heat and pressure

• They would turn into water

What does Glacier National Park protect evidence of?

• Processes that occurred millions of years ago

• The first human settlements

• The oldest trees on Earth

• The largest glaciers in the world
