  The Work of Water (Accessible Version)

  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 (open captions with audio description). Additional Work House teaching materials are available on the park's education page. https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/education/indian-education.htm

  Duration:

  2 minutes, 33 seconds

  Triple Divide (Accessible Version)

  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 model how water in Glacier National Park flows into three major river systems - the Columbia, the Mississippi and the Saskatchewan (open captions with audio description). Additional Work House teaching materials are available on the park's education page. https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/education/indian-education.htm

  Duration:

  2 minutes

  Erosion and Preservation of the Water Table (Accessible Version)

  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 model how vegetation can help to reduce soil erosion (open captions with audio description). Additional Work House teaching materials are available on the park's education page. https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/education/indian-education.htm

  Duration:

  Formation of Mountains and Faults (Accessible Version)

  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 model various geologic processes (open captions with audio description). Additional Work House teaching materials are available on the park's education page. https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/education/indian-education.htm

  Duration:

  2 minutes, 58 seconds

  Carving Mountains (Accessible Version)

  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 use clay to build models of glacial formations to help them understand how massive ice sheets shaped much of the landscape we see today (open captions with audio description). Additional Work House teaching materials are available on the park's education page. https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/education/indian-education.htm

  Duration:

  1 minute, 9 seconds

  Model Glaciers (Accessible Version)

  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 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 (open captions with audio description). Additional Work House teaching materials are available on the park's education page. https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/education/indian-education.htm
