The Niagara Falls Live website offers a comprehensive guide for visitors and educators looking to explore one of the world's most famous natural attractions. It features live camera feeds of the falls, detailed visitor information, and facts about the history and geography of Niagara Falls. The site provides a "window" into the power and beauty of the falls, which can be used to engage students in lessons on natural wonders, erosion, and the significance of water in both geography and history. This resource is perfect for virtual field trips or nature-related discussions in the classroom. If your district blocks YouTube, then the videos may not be viewable.

Students can create a mini-poster explaining the role of Niagara Falls in the regional water cycle. Students can build a model of the Falls using sand or clay and show how erosion changes the land over time.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
