Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of glaciers and icebergs. Discuss how glaciers are large, slow-moving bodies of ice that form on land from compacted snow.

Engage students with a brief discussion on how glaciers contribute to erosion and landscape changes.

Explain the process of glacier formation and movement, including how they pull rocks and dirt along, causing erosion.

Introduce the concept of icebergs and how they form when glaciers reach the ocean.

Watch the video 'Glaciers and Icebergs' to visually understand the formation and movement of glaciers and icebergs.

Discuss the visible and hidden parts of an iceberg in the ocean.

Have students create a model of a glacier using materials like clay or ice, observing how it moves and erodes the surface beneath.

Use the 'Modeling Land and Water' assessment to reinforce understanding of landforms and water movement.

Encourage students to research and present on different glaciers around the world, focusing on their impact on the environment.

Assign the 'Earth’s Water' assessment to test knowledge on different bodies of water, including glaciers and icebergs.

Conduct a class discussion to review the differences between glaciers and icebergs.

Use the 'Comparing Bodies of Water' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of the characteristics of glaciers and icebergs.

Encourage students to reflect on what they learned about glaciers and icebergs and how these formations impact the environment.

Discuss the importance of glaciers in the global ecosystem and their role in water distribution.

Administer the 'Earth’s Landforms' assessment to gauge students' understanding of various landforms and their characteristics.

Encourage students to explore further by researching the impact of climate change on glaciers and icebergs.
