Here is another link you may be interested in - it's a school district article about students being able to climb Mount Everest virtually.  It does have an error in it though.  I wonder if you can spot it - remember what I was saying to you about being a critical thinker when you're reading information on the Internet??  Happy Analysing, using Prior Knowledge and Questioning!!!
