The Australian Antarctic Program has done it again, delivering an extraordinary education resource series that takes you on a journey to the frozen continent of Antarctica. This series provides teachers and students with an immersive learning experience that is both educational and entertaining. The focus of this resource series is to increase understanding about the incredible science being conducted by Australians in the harsh environment of Antarctica.

The series includes lesson plans that are not only mapped to the science curriculum but also provide hands-on activities and detailed booklets. The lessons are designed to challenge students and help them develop their critical thinking skills, as well as to raise awareness about STEM careers and demonstrate how science is conducted in the real world. The series is a perfect way to incorporate global science issues into your teaching, and to show students how their education can be applied to real-world situations.

Embark on an adventure to the bottom of the world and explore the stunning landscape of Antarctica. Discover the challenges that scientists face while conducting research in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
