Classroom idea - with resource

Using this website:
http://www.windows2universe.org/teacher_resources/glacier_then_now.pdf
The website has a range of glacier pictures of then and now. It also has a linked website with a lesson plan using these pictures

Ideas include:
-matching the old glacier with the new one (Here, you could get students to say why they think it is the same glacier. Get them to focus on the landscape and use vocab associated with changing landscapes)
-Get the students to talk about climate change (Students here should be encouraged to use retreating words and how glaciers are formed/change).
-Talk about the affects of climate change on the world today. If glaciers get smaller, what will change (Linking to the wider world of geography, not just glaciers).
-The Human Affect (How humans contribute to the changes in glaciers and how humans are affected by the change in glaciers).
