Instructional Ideas
- Activity would be a good culminating lesson for the year
- Take 5-10 minutes to show the class the winter-sampling expedition and its different aspects, then allow pairs of learners to choose their projects
Classroom Considerations
- Website link in lesson preparation should be www.polartrec.com
- Length of activity depends upon speed at which scholars complete research and length of presentations; one week should be more than sufficient
Pros
- Provides seven different projects that participants can choose from
- The polartrec website is full of amazing information, photos, and resources to keep pupils and teachers engaged
Cons
- Does not include a rubric for the project and/or presentations
