A large data table is given to your elementary earth scientists in which they record observations that they make while viewing pictures of Alaskan glaciers. They compare and contrast recent photos with older photos. Hold a discussion with the class after the activity; questions and background information is provided to help you guide the process. This simple, but stimulating activity can be used when teaching on the impact of climate change.
