Calling all science teachers, grades 5-10! Mark your calendars for Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 1pm ET. Philippe Cousteau and Dr. Eduard Sarukhanian will be sharing their knowledge of the Arctic region and the effects of global warming. You and your students are invited on a journey to the Arctic with Philippe for an up close and personal look at the effects of global warming on glaciers, melting sea ice, and other temperature changes in the Arctic waters.
Next, Dr. Eduard Sarukhanian, an oceanographer and polar climate expert will explain the science behind the changes in the Arctic. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions and will walk away with a greater understanding of Arctic, it’s role in our global climate system and their lives, and what they can do to make a difference.
Additional classroom connections include a Biography of Philippe Cousteau and Lesson Plans to accompany the adventure. Click on the link to register for this great adventure: STEM CONNECT WEBINAR Adventure to the Arctic Circle, the Earth’s Air Conditioner
