Ozone Data Comparison over the South Pole

Overview


This data plotting lesson compares different stratospheric ozone data collected at the South Pole in September 1969, September 1998, September 2008, January 1999, and January 2008. This ozone comparison activity allows students to make conclusions about the annual and seasonal ozone hole as well as overall ozone concentration changes over Antarctica. Students use authentic data collected at the

Temperature Profile above the South Pole

Overview


This data plotting lesson is about temperature changes throughout the atmosphere. The data was collected together with the ozone data in January 2008.

The temperature vs. altitude profile allows students to make conclusions about annual and seasonal temperature changes in the atmosphere up to about 35 kilometers in the stratosphere. The best part of this lesson is using

Five Themes of the Geography of Antarctica

Overview


We go places, but what do we do with the billions of snippets of information we absorb? How do we process the information so that it means something to us when we can no longer be there? As a geographer, my objective was to be able to observe, participate and categorize the billions of pieces of visual information

Biodiversity of the Antarctic Region: Is it a Losing Battle?

Overview


Case studies provide a brief overview or examination of events that impact or alter the way people function and live day to day within the human and physical environment. They help by providing students with “real world” examples that relate to the theoretical content they are studying.

Objective


Students will prepare a case study illustrating the impact
