Rating
0.0 stars

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their observations and discuss the effects of erosion on the Earth's landscape. Students learn about how engineers are involved in the protection of landscapes and structures from erosion. Math problems are included to help students think about the effects of erosion in real-world scenarios.

Rating
0.0 stars

This data layer includes lines representing existing sections of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. This version of the data is hosted by Wisconsin DNR for DNR staff use and public download and is updated approximately every two months.

This layer is hosted by Wisconsin DNR, and reflects Ice Age Trail updates received from the Ice Age Trail Alliance on December 21st, 2023. This layer is typically updated approximately every two months and is primarily for the purpose of DNR staff use and public download from DNR's Open Data Portal. For more current trail data contact Tiffany Stram (tiffany@iceagetrail.org) GIS/Technology Specialist at Ice Age Trail Alliance. For the official depiction of Ice Age Trails in Wisconsin, see Ice Age Trail Alliance's Ice Age National Scenic Trail Existing Sections - Official Layer: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=735b25ad50e74520b7396d9168f53cfc.

This data layer includes lines representing existing sections of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. This layer is a combination of GPS and digitized data, merged to represent one complete data layer for the IAT. The data was developed by the Ice Age Trail Alliance (IATA) in cooperation with the National Park Service's Ice Age Trail Office.

Water and Dams in Today's World
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students learn about the importance of dams by watching a video that presents historical and current information on dams, as well as descriptions of global water resources and the hydrologic cycle. Students also learn about different types of dams, all designed to resist the forces on dams. (If the free, 15-minute "Water and Dams in Today's World" video cannot be obtained in time, the lesson can still be taught. See the Additional Multimedia Support section for how to obtain the DVD or VHS videotape, or a PowerPoint presentation with similar content [also attached].)
