In this lesson, Observing Earthās Seasonal Changes, students observe patterns of average snow and ice amounts as they change from one month to another, as well as connect the concepts of the tilt and orbit of the Earth (causing the changing of seasons) with monthly snow/ice data from January 2008
Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.
