In this lesson, students will delve into the geography and geology of mountains, focusing on their formation, features, and changes over time. Students are guided to use their textbooks and practice books for detailed exploration, including filling out graphic organizers and engaging with maps and photographs. Key questions will lead students to discover the science behind snow-capped peaks, the formation of the Rockies, and the impact of erosion. Activities include using Venn diagrams to compare mountain types and understanding the relationship between mountains and climate.
