In this lesson students will learn how to use photography to support scientific research by documenting collected measurement information through observational photography. This lesson was written for a Photography course, to be taught in a lab with access to either a darkroom or computers/printers. Alternatively this lesson could be modified to work in a non-photography class, by removing the photography aspect and focusing on the Weddell seals, the career of scientific research, and the skill of data collection.
This lesson was prepared as part of the PolarTREC Online Course Series by participant Justin Moodie.
