This 1 hour webinar conducted by PolarTREC teacher Glenn Clark studying the Totten Glacier System in Antarctica. Glenn focuses on the shipboard science activities to understand the marine ecosystem and glacier systems of east Antarctica.
The Joint Antarctic School Expedition (JASE) offered a webinar presentation showcasing the student expedition that was headed to Antarctica but came across various adventures in science along the way.
This 1 hour webinar is for the teachers and researchers of the 2014-2015 field season. Each team introduces themselves and the science projects in addition to a summary of the PolarTREC program.
This PowerPoint presentation could be used as part of an introductory or supplementary unit on Antarctica. The presentation includes stunning visuals and general facts about Antarctica.

Through investigation, you will determine which solution has the highest density.
Objective
To determine, through experimentation, which of a variety of solutions has the highest density.
Preparation
Background: The waters of the ocean are constantly moving in many different ways. The surface of the ocean rises and falls in rhythm. These movements, in the form of
This lesson was written for a Photography I course, to be taught in a lab with access to either a darkroom or computers/printers. The class has already spent ample time getting used to the basics of photography, learning to use their cameras as a creative tool, just as a painter might use a brush. This lesson could easily
Students are designated as the water or ocean currents, zooplankton, and bowhead whales. The zooplankton are informed that they are at the mercy of the currents. The currents are given instructions as to where to go during different times of the year (map). The whale pod is told that they need to breathe (raise hands above head to indicate
This one hour webinar is a great look at the PolarTREC 2013 Arctic expeditions. Each teacher presents a little about the research projects, implementation in the classroom, and outreach into communities.
This one hour webinar with PolarTREC teacher Lisa Seff shares ideas and experiences on bringing polar science into your classroom and community. Her work focuses on the oceanographic conditions of bowhead whale habitat.
