Connecting Boreal Larch Forests to Coniferous Forests of the Rocky Mountain Region

Overview

Scientists in Siberia are seeing trends of more severe and widespread wildfires. By observing and measuring larch forests, they are trying to understand how the forests are changing. What do these trees need to survive? Are they getting what they need? Students will plant lodgepole pine seeds providing some with all the necessary components for survival and others missing

Seed Dispersal STEM Challenge

Overview

Scientists in Siberia are seeing trends of more severe and widespread wildfires. Larch seeds are dispersed by wind. Experimentation is currently underway to determine distances larch seeds can disperse from viable, mature larch trees. Students will explore how various types of seeds are dispersed to get what they need to survive. Timeframe: 90 minutes Grade: K-2

Meaningful Meteorology

Overview

Students will learn to: * Observe and record weather patterns * Process data by creating graphs/charts * Compare actual weather data from the Siberian Arctic to local weather patterns, draw conclusions and make future predictions concerning weather patterns.

Big Idea

Why do people need to track weather over time?

Lesson Preparation

You will need a thermometer, tracking calendar, and

Just How Green Is Green?

Overview

Melissa Lau spent a month in the tundra ecosystem gathering data using a device called a Greenseeker. This device measures exactly how green a plant is by calculating its NDVI or Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. In this lesson, students will explore light waves, how they interact with plants, and find out how green is green.

Objectives

* Students will

Fur vs. Blubber: Which is the Better Insulator for Marine Mammals?

Overview:

This lesson investigates the effects of different insulators (fur and blubber) on maintaining the body temperature of polar animals. Water balloons filled with warm water simulate the marine mammal. The blubber insulator will be simulated by covering the balloon in vegetable shortening. The fur insulator will be simulated by placing another balloon over the “marine mammal” and adding an

PolarTREC Orientation 2020

We are really looking forward to the 2020-2021 field season for the PolarTREC teams! This space is dedicated to information about the upcoming PolarTREC Orientation that is required for the educators that were selected for 2020. It's also a space for those that are interested and/or joining the Orientation to learn more about the logistics related to the training.

STEM Experience Report - Jocelyn Argueta

The PolarTREC Field Experience##

The PolarTREC Field Experience is amazing! PolarTREC (Polar Teachers Researchers and Educators Exploring and Collaborating) matches polar researchers with educators to highlight, and increase accessibility to, the science happening in some of the most fascinating places on our planet—the Arctic and Antarctic regions. It is an opportunity for educators to be completely immersed in the culture
