Before Watching
-
Ask students what they know about the potential dangers and
physiological challenges of mountain climbing. What conditions
(such as terrain, temperature, air pressure, oxygen level, and
weather) might climbers face? What types of stresses might
climbers' bodies encounter in response to these conditions? As
they watch, have students look for the dangers and physiological
challenges encountered by the NOVA team.
After Watching
-
Review the dangers faced by the climbers. Which ones seemed most
life-threatening?
