US Grade 6 - 7
In this ongoing social class, we will learn and discuss a new topic about Antarctica each week. It's a great opportunity for students to learn about Antarctica, as well as practice good communication skills in this discussion-based class. Based on my first-hand knowledge of the seasonal cycles of Antarctica, I will present some topics that are seasonally-relevant, and other weeks we will vote on a news topic shared by either students or myself. Antarctica is a fascinating place! I dreamed...
This class is taught in English.
I’ve lived and worked in Antarctica for two summer seasons at a science research station. I’m passionate about the Icy Continent, and am happy to share my first-hand knowledge and experience with learners in my courses and answer as many questions as I can. In addition to sharing my personal experiences, several of my courses draw on expert knowledge in Antarctic science, history, and logistics from people I met while working there. This extensive set of educational resources developed by science researchers and Antarctic logistics specialists gives learners a first-hand look at real scientific research being conducted in one of the most remote environments on the planet, along with the logistics that help support scientific discovery. I look forward to sharing Antarctica with your learner. Prior to working in Antarctica, I taught World Geography in Alaska for 10 years. Antarctica was always my favorite unit to teach! My courses also draw on materials I’ve used in the classroom to teach about the Icy Continent.
There are no required materials. For all keen learners (Antarctic Explorers) who take Antarctic-themed classes with me regularly, I highly recommend a dedicated notebook or binder for Antarctica.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
The web-site listed will be used to observe live web-cams in Antarctica, which is generally of high interest to keen Antarctic learners. During class, I will be accessing this web-site and will screenshare the view with learners. Learners will have the option to check the web-cams between classes, and might take notes on seasonal activity or other observations they make. Accessing this web-site between classes is at parent discretion, and is not required for learners to be successful in this class. Learners will not need to create an account and will only be viewing publicly-accessible information. I have reviewed their privacy policy for compliance with COPPA. If you have any questions feel free to also review their privacy policy or reach out to me with questions.
Jan 2024: I will be pausing all my Outschool classes for at least 6 months to take care of family needs. If you learner is interested in Alaska or Antarctica, please favorite my classes so you can be notified when I list a new section. Thank...
