TEK TALKS is a series of webinars that was developed to foster understanding among scientists in regard to working with Indigenous People. View archived lectures and/or sign up for future lectures through the website.
Students will explain, both orally and in writing, a diagram used to illustrate a food web.
Objectives
Students will learn how language is used to communicate and is required to impart knowledge and sustain a healthy, traditional community in a modern world.
Students will learn strategies for communicating complex ideas to an audience.
We hope that this activity will be completed by a multitude of classrooms, students, scientists, and teachers around the world in celebration of International Polar Week - a global celebration of the Polar Regions during the equinoxes each year.

Sea ice, the thin layer of ice that covers most of the Arctic Ocean and surrounds most of the Antarctic continent, represents a distinctive feature of our planet. The attached flyer, produced by the International Polar Year (IPY) Programme Office, includes a summary of information about sea ice including sea ice formation, movement, monitoring, seasonal patterns, and forecasting. A follow-up
As the homepage of the website describes, "The beauty of the Arctic, its precious and fragile nature, its critical role in maintaining a stable climate for the planet, and the rapid rate of change that is occurring there must all be conveyed to the general public. Here, through digital story telling, we put a human face on science, life, societies
Students can learn about sea ice—what it is, how it is formed, why it's important, what it impacts, how scientists study it, and what people can do to help slow its melt.
Objective
Students will be able to identify various characteristics of sea ice, how animals and people depend on it, and what scientists learn by studying
This website features webcam images of the North Pole and is hosted by NOAA. The Arctic Theme page also hosts a variety of educational resources about the Arctic.
The Earth Exploration Toolbook is a collection of computer-based Earth science activities. Each activity, or chapter, introduces one or more data sets and an analysis tool that enables users to explore some aspect of the Earth system.
The SIPEX expedition was aboard Australia's icebreaking research vessel Aurora Australis in the region of East Antarctica between 110°E and 130°E. Each day while the ship was in the sea ice zone, scientists undertook experiments on the ice floes to learn about the thickness, snow cover and other properties of the sea ice, how it is affected by ocean currents
