Learning Resources

PolarTREC Learning Resources is a collection of articles, lessons, activities, interactive media, and more for educators, families, students, or anyone interested in teaching or learning more about the science of the Arctic and Antarctica.

Many of these resources have been aggregated into "Collections". The collections are a chance to find all types of resources that all pertain to a specific discipline or location. Several of the collections are utilized during the C-ISE Professional Development courses offered by PolarTREC through the University of Alaska. To find out more about these professional development courses visit: PolarTREC Online Course for Educators.

The C-ISE Collection includes:
*Life Science Collection
*Physical Science Collection
*Earth Science Collection
*Social Science Collection

In addition, we have currently two Special Collections:
*The Polar Week Collection was developed to help share resources for Polar Week activities. Polar Week, sponsored by the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists celebrates the poles during the March Equinox.

*The Bering Sea Ecosystem Collection was developed during a four day workshop that brought together teachers who had traveled to the Bering Sea during teacher researcher experience programs; Bering Sea community teachers from St. Paul, Emmonak, and Nome; as well as project scientists interested in gaining expertise in broader impacts activities.
