Teachers Kevin McMahon and Beth Allyn Parker from Renfroe Middle School in Decatur, Georgia challenged their 6th grade classes to experimentally test which type of marker would work best for creating their own Antarctic expedition flags.  They requested 3 blank flags from me and then the students considered the harsh weather conditions that the flags would have to endure as they flew over the sea ice at the bottom of the world.  I am very excited about the fun and learning that happened next and I am so impressed with a letter that they sent me to describe their work that I asked if I could copy it into me PolarTREC journal. 

    Check out the cool letter and photos in the attachment below!

    This is fun!
