International Polar Year Resource Page
NASA has just launched its Polar Year (IPY) Resource Page for teachers.
In addition to the latest science research on the Arctic and Antarctic, this handy learning resource also covers the polar regions of the moon and Mars. Classroom materials include easy–to–use and searchable databases of video, images, posters, and fact sheets. Educators can also use lessons, educational tools and datasets, reading materials, podcasts and vodcasts, curriculum–based science games and a calendar of International Polar Year events. Or one can chill with the world’s foremost ice and climate scientists at the Polar Palooza section of the NASA website.
The International Polar Year, initiated in March of 2007, consists of more than 63 cooperating countries working to improve scientific understanding of the polar regions of Earth, the moon and Mars.
