Island to Ice
Educational Project connects students on Mustang Island, Texas and the
North Island of New Zealand with research scientists traveling to McMurdo
Station Antarctica. Students will have the opportunity to:
- Meet the scientists during
classroom visits
- Follow the researchers’ Antarctic experience in an online
journal
-
Ask questions of researchers about their Antarctic experience via
email
- Conduct science
activities and lessons with Antarctic themes, and compare their
results with those obtained at partner locations
- Send a "traveling activity" along with researchers to the
Antarctic continent
This project will be conducted
during November and December of 2004 and is a collaboration between:
- University of Texas Marine
Science Institute (UTMSI) GK-12
Program, Port Aransas Texas
- UTMSI Antarctic research
scientists from
Dr. Paul
Montagnas’ laboratory
- H.G. Olsen Elementary, Brundrett
Middle School, and Port
Aransas High School in
Port Aransas, Texas
- Papamoa
