CReSIS - The Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets - 0 views

  •  
    Wonderful resource for sea ice information. It does not 'rise to the top' in Google! Resources and accessibility for K-12 educators continually improves, so it deserves a revisit if it's been awhile since you looked. This would be a good site to start student research (upper middle & high school).

nsf.gov - National Science Foundation - US National Science Foundation (NSF) - 0 views

  •  
    Not an obvious resource page for most teachers, but there is a wealth of information here, not just for IPY! Educators should look for the "Classroom Resources" item on the right sidebar and that page will let them refine their search. The news items are also great for informing students on latest and breaking research in many areas.

COPUS: Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science - 0 views

  •  
    Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science. Well, okay… not a polar resource. But this relatively new advocacy organization that endeavors to promote public awareness and understanding of science. It has big name supporters that suggest it will be an ever growing resource deserving of periodic visits to the site.

Climate 1 Stop - 0 views

  •  
    The website blurb does not begin to do justice to the power and wealth of resources in this site. It was unveiled at Copenhage, late 2009. "The Climate 1-Stop provides a single location to share and access climate change tools, resources and information, with a primary focus on adaptation in developing countries.The Climate 1-Stop is a partnership of southern and northern organizations working at all levels, from grass roots to global.

TEA: Index - 0 views

  •  
    This is the archive for the lesson plans and related materials for the TEA project (there are some excellent resources here) It is no longer active, although the parent ARMADA project is still underway. It is easier to link to it from this archive than it is to get to the TEA resources from ARMADA!.

    GLOBE is not directly a polar resource, but its vision and mission make it an indirect route to the study of the poles, and certainly, it's emphasis on climate has increased.

Global Warming Education: School Lesson Plans, Climate Change - 0 views

  •  
    This site is notable because it is one of the few that offers (excellent) discipline specific resources as well as grade filtered. Many of the lessons are directly related to polar science. Although this site is not itself an advocacy site, it links to many of the 'more respectable' ones.

Climate Program Office (CPO) Home Page - 0 views

    Not a curriculum, or a resource page in the same sense as other sites in the curriculum category; the NOAA Climate Program Office provides a document about climate literacy. It can be accessed here. This document, developed with Standards and Benchmarks in mind, will enable teachers to meet their curriculum needs while incorporating climate and polar studies in their teaching plans.
