From 3rd-7th November we will be involved in a virtual field trip to Antarctica. During this time we will Skype the scientists and other people down there, take part in audio conferences with other schools and see live videos of different things happening.
Here is a list of things we get to do
- travel to Antarctica aboard a giant C17 Globemaster
- complete a survival training course
- travel and work with scientists to see science in action
- go diving through holes in the sea ice
- visit penguin colonies
- visit seal haul-outs
- go fishing, take photographs and collect samples
- discover how energy moves through Antarctic marine food webs
- investigate whether plant life formed in sea ice is an important food source for coastal animals in Antarctica
- work with scientists trying to find answers to questions about climate change
- collect specimens and work with them in the laboratory at Scott Base
We are really excited. Today we have been brainstorming questions to ask about the Science in Antarctica. Has anybody else got an idea of a good question we could ask??
