How are people affecting wildlife behavior in Glacier National Park? Millions of visitors travel the Going-to-the-Sun Road every year, changing behaviors of some wildlife species. This film highlights research on mountain goats at Logan Pass where researchers are looking at various factors to determine why these goats act differently than others throughout the park.

Climate change is changing landscapes and creating impacts throughout the world. Glacier National Park is no exception. Around 1850, an estimated 150 glaciers existed within the present boundaries of the park. Today, only 25 glaciers remain and are predicted to disappear by 2030, if not earlier. This film explores current research on the park's melting glaciers and how the park's ecosystem is responding to climate change.

This video is part of Work House: A Glacier National Park Science Education Program created by the Division of Interpretation & Education at Glacier National Park with the help of many people from the Blackfeet, Kootenai, Salish & Pend d'Oreille Culture Committees, and schools within the Blackfeet and Flathead Reservations. In this lesson, students build a model to help them understand and describe the role of water, erosion, and sedimentation in shaping the landscape.

In this lesson, students use ice block models to mimic some of the processes that occurred when glacial ice covered much of the landscape-advancing and retreating, to create U-shaped valleys, moraines, and various other glacial features.
