Driving Question
What questions might we want to investigate to help us understand why there sometimes is not enough snow for some parts of the dogsled race?
- What conditions are needed for a dogsled race?
- What is dogsled racing?
- What is it like in Anchorage and Fairbanks, and where are they located?
- Has this happened before?
- Why do some places have enough snow and others do not?
- Why do some years have enough snow and others do not?
- Is it warmer in years that there is not enough snow?
- Will there be any changes to the race, and what might cause these changes?
- What is the dogsled route usually, and what will the alternate route be?
