About 12,000 years ago, glaciers up to 2 miles tall covered up to one-third of Earth’s land! Explore how these moving mountains of ice changed almost everything on Earth, including shorelines, weather, plants, animal and human activities, migration, and more.  In Explore the Ice Age! With 25 Great Projects, kids ages 7 to 10 discover what an ice age consists of, why we have them, and what effect an ice age has on living organisms and ecosystems, paying particular attention to the most recent ice age, which is the only one humans were around to witness. Learn the science and techniques of archaeological and paleontological digs to understand how we know so much about a time that happened before recorded history. Science-minded activities lead readers to discover what a world covered in ice means for Earth’s crust and its atmosphere and what happens when the planet begins to warm and the ice melts. Don’t wait for the next ice age to get started!
