Educational & Community Outreach

This web site contains teachers' guides and activities for elementary school students about Antarctica. We also have a Web Expedition for middle school students. These activities have been designed to use as a supplement to your Earth Science course of study. All of these materials have been created to align with National and Ohio Educational Standards.

The Polar Rock Boxes contain rocks from the 3 main rock types in addition to activities and polar book (at no cost, contact the Curator).
