    Windows to the Universe. Excellent resources, many of which were featured in the Winter 2008 issue of The Earth Scientist (National Earth Science Teachers Association). This issue was dedicated to polar studies and IPY. Select 'Polar Regions' in the left sidebar menu.

    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.

    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.

    Direct link to "the most terrifying video you will ever see" "How It All Ends" is the best known resource from the Manpollo project, which looks at climate change not as 'who is responsible' but as a study in risk assessment.

    The author of this website (wondering mind42) has a youtube channel that includes the video "How it all ends" - from the site: "Furthermore, we wish to shift the question often asked in popular culture from "Are we certain we're responsible for global warming?" to "Given the risks and uncertainties of global warming, what is the best action to take?" "

    Here you will find the Antarctic Treaty Papers as well as links to other information of Antarctica's history and the Summit. The summit was in 2009; these provide a good opportunity for an interdisciplinary unit and some great contemporary discussions about the importance of the treaty.

    Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities. This site has been included not for it's polar studies (almost - but not completely - non existent) but as a resource for educators looking at service learning models and ideas for expanding a class beyond single discipline content.

    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.

    Look here to find 'real' data that can be incorporated into lessons. There are also links to lesson plans from other teachers, and well as tutorials on ways to use data with GIS, TI-84 calculators, and spreadsheets.

    Educational Global Climate Modeling. This was developed from an older 'real' modeling program, so the difference between this and current programs is the grainy-ness of the data. (It will run on today's laptops - yesterday's supercomputers - current programs need the power of modern supercomputers.) Good for high school student direct use, middle schoolers would probably be more comfortable with demos. Learning curve isn't too bad!

    The US Army's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory's site. Under the Educational Outreach menu item, you will find student opportunities (high school and above). The Kid's Corner is not directly polar related, but there are some good activities (especially under the Navigation Lessons) to tie in with a polar topic unit.
