How are people affecting wildlife behavior in Glacier National Park? Millions of visitors travel the Going-to-the-Sun Road every year, changing behaviors of some wildlife species. This film highlights research on mountain goats at Logan Pass where researchers are looking at various factors to determine why these goats act differently than others throughout the park.

Climate change is changing landscapes and creating impacts throughout the world. Glacier National Park is no exception. Around 1850, an estimated 80 glaciers existed within the present boundaries of the park. Based on aerial imagery from 2015 there are about 26 named glaciers remaining. This film explores current research on the park's melting glaciers and how the park's ecosystem is responding to climate change.

Harlequin ducks are a species of concern in Montana. Little is known about where they nest and their habitat requirements for survival. This film highlights a three-year research project that examines the factors influencing harlequin duck reproductive success and survival on Upper McDonald Creek in Glacier National Park.

This video is part of Work House: A Glacier National Park Science Education Program created by the Division of Interpretation & Education at Glacier National Park with the help of many people from the Blackfeet, Kootenai, Salish & Pend d'Oreille Culture Committees, and schools within the Blackfeet and Flathead Reservations. In this lesson, students build a model to help them understand and describe the role of water, erosion, and sedimentation in shaping the landscape (open captions with audio description).
Additional Work House teaching materials are available on the park's education page.

In this lesson, students use ice block models to mimic some of the processes that occurred when glacial ice covered much of the landscape-advancing and retreating, to create U-shaped valleys, moraines, and various other glacial features (open captions with audio description).

In this lesson, students model how water in Glacier National Park flows into three major river systems - the Columbia, the Mississippi and the Saskatchewan (open captions with audio description).
