From Source to Sea - Intro Lesson

Today we started a new unit called "From Source to Sea" - a holistic unit that will examine river systems from their source in Alpine glaciers, all the way to the river deltas that meet the ocean.  We will examine the following:

  • Brief examination of the Earth's Atmosphere - including clouds, precipitation, etc. 
  • Alpine Glaciers - how are they created, and how do they create powerful erosive and depositional landscapes
  • Rivers - different life stages
  • River Deltas
  • Ocean Issues including coastlines, marine pollution and plastic waste 
Here is the powerpoint including the video clips that we watched today.  Here is the handout that we completed in class. 

For next day, you will need your study guide, and you will also need to have completed your cloud chart and the questions in the booklet.
