If you haven’t tried it yet notebook lm on google is great. Create a notepad in a topic/for a class. Upload your resources, either internet, YouTube,drive whatever is relevant for the module. Select the particular aspect you need a resource for. Click to go. Have fun

As the Aral Sea has been drained by irrigation and dried up, the mass loss on the surface has caused Earth’s upper mantle to rise up, lifting the emptied sea bed an average of 7 millimetres per year
