Teacher Nell Kemp and researcher Rebecca Hewitt discuss field work and research on the Deep Roots project. The research team is studying the matrix of soils, roots and fungal hyphae that may play a critical role in the trajectory of future climate change. This project is based out of Toolik Field Station and Healy, Alaska.
Programa Piloto permite a Estudiantes de High School de los Estados Unidos Aprender sobre Ciencia Antártica en una Estación de Investigación Chilena

Tres estudiantes de bachillerato (high school) y un maestro de Wisconsin
participarán en un programa piloto de colaboración entre los programas
antárticos de los Estados Unidos y Chile, que los llevarán a una estación de
investigación
Students will learn the basics of calorimetry, energetics and respiration as they pertain to their own bodies and to those of other species, including arctic animals.
Objective
Students will learn about respiration, calorimetry and the energetic needs of various species including their own. Students will compare food intake to daily energy consumption and consider the consequences of
Students will conduct quantitative and qualitative observations on living organisms. By recording careful measurements, making and testing various hypotheses, on super mealworms, students will gain some understanding of how wildlife researchers conduct their studies.
Objective
Students learn to take measurements on living organisms and use those measurements to consider the health of the organisms.
Dividing the class into Little auks and predators, students complete survival game for several seasons. After tallying up total volume of food collected, survival rates of the chicks can be graphed and analyzed.
Objective
Students will be able to experience the hazards that Little auks must avoid in order to survive. Students will understand the value of
