How to teach glacial formation

I was just having a think about how to make the previous blogs of information more accessible and interesting for students. Here are some ideas I have thought about as to how it could be taught:

1)Diagrams and captions underneath each section to show the formation of a glacier. This would be very teacher led ideas. Little chance for student initiative but the work would be there for future reference and it would be correct.
2)Giving the students pictures of the glacier formation process and making them think of the time line prior to any teaching. This might be best for the younger years, but could be used for older students as well. Maybe for the older students captions could also be given and they have to be matched to the picture and then out in a time line order.
3)Creating a story of 'Wallace the water drop' and how he becomes a glacier and eventually turns into 'Ivon the iceberg'. Hopefully this is a more creative idea and the students might remember this more. It would also be helpful when trying to jog the memories of students in latter lessons.
4)The above story could be told and then allow students to create their own version of events for homework/lesson time to see what they can remember. This would allow students to put their own stamp on the work and hopefully make them remember it. Tell them there are say 8 different stages and see which ones they can remember, but in their own words. A more detailed version could be given after.
5)Use of videos here I think would be really useful as a visual reminder and explained. I think any visuals would be really important to help remember the stages.
6)Games could be played at the end of the lesson, especially with younger students with the new vocabulary which has just been learnt. Could be anything from matching sentences to the meaning or whole class activities using the board, making it more competitive and hopefully more interesting. Older students might enjoy a more pop quiz sorta style with a winning team/person.
