The penguin picture is poster worthy. I hope there are more pictures of the penguin visiting areas of the ship. It would make a great children’s book.

Science classes- By “rarely” dipping their heads into the water, does that mean they do this sometimes? Maybe they are eating a food that is close to the surface. Could you rig a petrol cam? If you found a dead petrel, are you allowed to do an autopsy to see what it ate? From the […]

How long does it usually take you to set up your main science lab?
When you are using walkie-talkies underwater, why do you have to use codenames? Wouldn’t it be easier to use your real names? -

Questions from Ed in Period 5 Science;
How does the glider face obstacles like ice?
How many hours can you spend on the “Palmer” before you have to refuel again?
What is the depth limitation of the glider? -

Ross Sea Connection: 12 years, 1 month agoOh, well. The kids seem to think I can answer the chemistry questions and are in to the glider. We still need to ask some chemistry questions.

Ross Sea Connection 12 years, 1 month agoThis is a Power Point presentation I am using this week. I had students observe and speculate using the first three slides while asking guiding questions for notes. The next slides checked note content. We discussed variables and models.

Katie,
We are on early dismissal today. Tomorrow may be delayed opening or cancelled depending on what happens overnight. The storm looks like it could be a real problem for us Wednesday. The call will be made early tomorrow morning. I will contact you if we are not in session as planned. -
