Icebergs and Glaciers - Issue 15, August 2009

The enormous size of icebergs and glaciers can spark student interest - and questions. How can huge icebergs float? How do massive glaciers move? In this issue, discover resources to help your students learn about icebergs and glaciers, develop a basic understanding of density and buoyancy, and practice reading comprehension strategies like predicting and visualizing. Download our latest podcast or learn how iPod Touches can bring technology to every student. And that's just the "tip of the iceberg" - there's much more to explore!
