In a few hours I will be starting my long haul to Greenland. I am flying from Fort Lauderdale to Stockholm for a short stop over and then onto Copenhagen where I will stay over night and then fly out the next day to Kanger Greenland and then finally Thule Air Force Base. My bag is sitting in my
This lesson incorporates techniques and experimental designs used by researchers during the Southern Ocean Diatoms PolarTREC expedition and during post-expedition laboratory analysis. This guided inquiry lesson provides students the opportunity to explore photosynthesis and primary productivity using techniques to measure chlorophyll levels.
Objectives
SWBAT:
1. Use models to predict chlorophyll levels in the global oceans
2. Identify
I was privileged to participate in a PolarTREC expedition to Greenland in June of 2016. PolarTREC, and other teacher research experiences, put educators into active roles with respect to science and are thus extraordinary opportunities to serve as role models for our students. PolarTREC afforded me the chance to model for my students the adventurous spirit that for centuries has
This archive is for Webinar 2 focusing on pre-field preparations and activities for the 2017-18 PolarTREC Arctic cohort. This event was held on 4 April 2017.
Today I was able to go on one more run on the beach. The beach is one of my favorite places to spend my time. Running for me has always been a fun way to get exercise and relieve stress. I started running about five years ago when I ran a half marathon at Disney World Florida. Since than, I have run
For the last several days I was at the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) conference in Los Angeles, CA. This was my second year going and I had a great time. The conference consisted of long days running from workshop to workshop trying to squeeze in as many things as I could. It lasted
Meet Team Squirrel - Cory Williams Today we processed the three female squirrels we caught yesterday and we we had planned to do some trapping here at Toolik this afternoon, but it was cold and Cory didn't see many squirrels when he did a round on the snowmachine. Instead, I spent some time in
Team Squirrel is the name of the group I'm working with on this expedition, and most of the time it will just be me and Cory Williams, the principal investigator, in the field. But we're lucky to have been joined for the first week by Helen, who is currently in the process of finishing her PhD at UC
