Earth Science Students Create Glacier Models PDF Print E-mail

glacier1Mrs. Pinkerton’s 6th grade Earth Science class created glacier projects during their studies of Erosional Forces. The student’s models were Valley Glaciers and showed the rugged features a glacier forms as it moves and melts. The projects were amazing and showed features such as U-shaped valley, cirque, terminal moraine, outwash plain, hanging valley and arêtes.  Students also learned how past glacier deposits of outwash and loess formed today’s farmlands in the Midwest U.S. and also learned how rocks that the glaciers plucked left grooves and striations in the ground.
