Duration: 1 hour
Location: West High/South High
Parcticipants: Chasity Malatesta/ Steve Holman/ Graham Dey/ Gena Dwyer

Goal(s) of Meeting
Recruitment/Explain the significant of the TEA program.

Overview of Session (e.g., resources used, discussion points, next steps, etc.):
I lead a discussion personally with each group mentor in their classrooms.

How did your team address pedagogy, content, the process of science, and the use of technology during the session?
we did not.

Goal(s) of Meeting
Intro of Titans in Space program, look at construction of environment chambers and sense their ability to work in Antarctica

Overview of Session (e.g., resources used, discussion points, next steps, etc.):
In this meeting with students/ parents and teachers we reviewed the Titans in Space project that Steve has put together. Of parcticular interest is how to incorporate this enclosed environmental living chambers with my trip to Antarctica and with the students back home. Is it possible to build one of these in a smaller unit? Would like to use this as a research project.

How did your team address pedagogy, content, the process of science, and the use of technology during the session?
We looked at the process of science by investigating ways to organize a group. We looked at technology by looking at ways that these units are built. They have remote temperature sensors that feed into a computer. They have interesting design elements between the duckweed and the mice that live in them. Co2 monitoring devices were introduced as well.

Goal(s) of Meeting
We had a meeting at the elementary school to explore ways to get our high school students into the elementary school to teach science. In parcticular we talked about the upcoming trip to Antarctica and how it fits into this scheme.

Overview of Session (e.g., resources used, discussion points, next steps, etc.):
see above

How did your team address pedagogy, content, the process of science, and the use of technology during the session?
WE discussed the pedagogy of high school mentors for elementary students.

Goal(s) of Meeting
To get Graham to apply for the Partners in Science grant.

Overview of Session (e.g., resources used, discussion points, next steps, etc.):
I recruited Graham to the Partners in Science grant so that he could do research here in the school. This is a goal of the mentoring program that teachers would do research with students. It is a long application so we went over the details.

How did your team address pedagogy, content, the process of science, and the use of technology during the session?
Discussed the pedagogy of research in the classroom.

Goal(s) of Meeting
To write grant proposals.

Overview of Session (e.g., resources used, discussion points, next steps, etc.):
As a group we have written two grant proposals. The first is a local grant, "Titans experiencing Antarctica." The second is a Toyota TAPESTRY grant entitled "90 Degrees South: A Polar Latitude with a Scientific Aptitude. We would like to get money for our preparation to do research prior to the Antarctica experience. Four projects have been selected. Solar research, parcticle physics, Cold Ocean research and Extremophobes.

How did your team address pedagogy, content, the process of science, and the use of technology during the session?
The entire grant proposal addressed content and the process of science for students to go through the scientific method in formulating research proposals.
