“Each glacier is like a library, storing stories of the Earth‘s past.”
This book could be used in the classroom to teach about glaciers, climate change, and how science connects to history. It would work well for a nonfiction reading unit or a science-social studies crossover lesson.
so-soThe information is presented clearly and directly, making it easy to understand even when the topic gets scientific.
