The Science Summit page links to science lesson plans that include: Animals of Nepal - students identify and describe the components of living things; Climate of the Himalayas - students identify and explain earth's climate systems; Geology of Mt. Everest - students analyze and explain large-scale dynamic forces that affect the earth's land; Effects of Altitude - students compare and predict how life forms can adapt to changes in the environment; Overcoming Disabilities with Technology - students identify and explain ways that science and technology influence the lives of people; Expedition Technology and Oxygen - students describe the effects on society of scientific and technological innovations. From the Science Summit, other lesson plans in other content areas (i.e., mathematics, social studies, reading, discussion groups, etc.) may be accessed.
