Has a member of your research team visited your classroom in the last year? Yes

Transfer

How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc? We are currently involved in a year long study the Arctic and Antarctica.

In the fall, students worked with the high school fisheries class. They caught salmon and observed collection of eggs from female salmon and the milking of sperm from male salmon to fertilize the eggs. The fertilized eggs are now incubating.

The students will be conducting a sea ice study in the coming month, in collaboration with Dr. Lisa Clough. This is to fulfill the requirements of a $5,000 Alaska Science and Technolgy Foundation grant I receive in the Spring of 2001.
