Description:
Students virtually visit the Indian Peaks section of the Colorado Front Range to learn how vegetation changes with location (elevation) and climate, and how glaciation has created specific landforms. They take and enter requested field observations on their journal pages, and analyze the field data at the conclusion of the field trip. The site provides Background Information, Instructor Preparation, Lesson Procedures and Schedule, and Handouts.
