The Fragile Ice
|
During this half-day symposium, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF),
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA), government agency scientists and education specialists
talked to the audience about the role of ice in Earth's changing climate. The presenters
shed light on the health of the artic regions of the world based on data collected
from ice core samples and satellite observations. In addition to providing a science
update on this topic, the presenters performed activities that enhanced the participants'
knowledge and served as models for activities the teachers could do with their students
in the classroom. The program was designed for teachers of grades 5-8.
This symposium was held in St. Louis, MO, at the NSTA National Conference on Science
Education in celebration of the International Polar Year. All participants received
educational materials from NASA, NOAA, and NSF funded programs.
