Continued Collaboration with Research Team Members
How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc?
My research is referenced frequently in most of my classes. I share slides, discuss the polar environment, teach about sediment coring, and share information about the expedition regularly with students in Environmental Science, Oceanography, and Earth/Space Science classes. In addition, I am a guest speaker for the other Environmental Science teacher in our school and share slides with her students when we discuss the polar biome. The only class that doesn't have a lot of direct application is Astronomy . . . and even in that class I discussed the views that I had from both New Zealand and Antarctica as compared to the views from Indiana and other locations in the northern hemisphere. I also had my Oceanography students parcticipate in the activity that I posted on line about sediment coring. It worked very well, and I intend to have this year's students use it too.

None Content:
I was the opening address for the convention. This was a 45 minute slide
presentation about TEA, Antarctica, the Arctic, and Scientific Research.
The audience consisted of high school students (and their teachers) who
had completed research of their own, so I was able to focus on research even
more than I normally do. Following the presentation, I answered questions
for 5-10 minutes. Outcomes:
The students seemed very interested in the research. They said that they
learned a lot, and I had a lot of fun. I received a very complimentary letter
of thanks from the program director.
