Glacier National Park - The Work of Water (Accessible Version)

The video tutorial explores the hands-on learning approach in Glacier National Park, focusing on how water shapes landscapes through erosion, weathering, and sedimentation. Students are guided to build a model landscape using materials like sand, clay, and soil, and observe the effects of water flow. The tutorial emphasizes the geological processes that have shaped the park over millions of years, encouraging students to think creatively and scientifically about natural forces. The lesson is part of the Work House Science Curriculum, highlighting the park's educational value.
