1. Teacher Guide This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you can help the kids if they are having trouble.

3. Here on the Chilean side, it’s General Carrera Lake. But paddle east, cross the border to Argentina and it becomes Lake Buenos Aires. That’s all without ever leaving the boat. Though the intricately eroded marble shore runs around much of the Patagonian lake, the most dramatic examples lie within Chile’s borders. Glacial ice and the lake’s waters have drilled into the marble, creating many shallow caves that visitors can explore. Furthering the lake’s reputation as a natural wonder is the weather. The mountains that ring the lake create a rain shadow, lending General Carrera Lake a sunny, Mediterranean microclimate. So while visitors to the Patagonian wilderness to the east can expect cooler, humid weather, lakeside travel generally means warm and dry days.
