Frozen Oceans: Primary
The Frozen Oceans (Primary) education programme is based on journeys undertaken by explorers and scientists taking part in the Catlin Arctic Surveys between 2009 and 2011. The activity ideas and accompanying resources are designed to introduce students to what life is like in the High Arctic and the importance of learning about this extreme environment.
Each of the five lessons include teacher guidance, slideshows, activity overviews, student sheets and links to multimedia that aim to inspire children to discover the life of polar researchers. The lessons are :
Lesson 1: What organisms live in the Arctic?
Lesson 2: How do you train like an Arctic explorer?
Lesson 3: How do you eat like an Arctic explorer?
Lesson 4: How do humans and animals keep warm in the Arctic?
Lesson 5: How is the Arctic changing?
