Adding to: Mountain Glaciers: Going, Going, Gone?

After reading through the scenario and using the additional resources provided, students complete investigations to further their understanding and make predictions about the future of mountian glaciers. All of the investigations and their difficulty level are listed below. They can be downloaded in full from the 'Mountain Glaciers Module' link.
