by  Ohio History Connection

In this natural history program, students will take a journey with Dr. Zooki, an eccentric scientist, as we examine the geological effects of the Ice Age on present-day Ohio from thousands of years ago. Students will discover the cause-and-effect relationship of three natural landforms that resulted from the glaciers and the sequence of their creation. Students will also use their mapping and navigation skills to guide their trip through time.
