Antarctica is a fascinating continent full of beautiful landscapes and amazing animals.  However, it’s also home to many of nature’s most extremes.  In this one-time class, we will learn about the many ways in which the most remote continent on the planet is also the most extreme.  

Learners will virtually travel to Antarctica through photos and video from my personal collection (unless otherwise noted).  I will provide students with a fact sheet, which we will use along with the photos to learn about Antarctica’s extreme environment.  

Class will be teacher-led, include interactive discussion, and finish with a short game to review what we have learned.  Curious learners also have great questions, and I have allocated time in class to answer questions about my experience of living and working at a science research station in Antarctica.

Suggested Prerequisite: Though not required, I highly recommend learners take my one-time class "Journey to Antarctica: A Really "Cool" Introduction to the Icy Continent".  I offer this regularly, please request a time if one doesn’t meet your needs.

Please note: I also offer a similar course for learners aged 11-13.  We cover the same extremes found in Antarctica and some of the same photos and videos may be used, but teaching style and learner activities are different.
