Understanding Glaciers and Experiments

The video discusses a cruise trip for science teachers to Alaska, organized in collaboration with Carnival Cruise and AAA. The trip aims to provide hands-on learning experiences about glaciers, using goop to simulate glacier behavior. Teachers will engage with naturalists and use real-world observations to enhance their understanding. The video also highlights the importance of teacher involvement in environmental education and plans for future virtual engagement.
