The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Antarctica:
In this experience, students explore the physical geography of Antarctica, particularly its climate. Then they learn about the history of exploration on the continent. Next, they learn about the environmental issue of melting polar ice and its connection to human activity. Finally, students research and develop a travel plan for a trip to Antarctica. Objectives:Overview:
Unlike Australia, the continent of Antarctica is not a country. In fact, there is no permanent human population that lives there. But that doesn’t mean the place is lifeless. Some animals are quite happy with their polar home—and human researchers have much to discover at the South Pole. You’ll learn about this continent in this experience.
Objectives:
Begin your exploration of Antarctica by checking out some Facts and Figures.
What did you already know and what surprised you about Antarctica?
Discuss student responses. Together make a list of additional questions students have about the continent. Revisit these questions at the end of the experience to see if they have been answered.
When everyone is ready to continue, unlock the next scene.
