Lesson Outline
We will be joined by scientists and experts who will tell us more about their experiences in Antarctica, as well as what we learn from the research they do.
During our time at BAS HQ, teaching will be put into a real-life context through exciting demos, recordings and animated infographics.
The lesson itself will follow the journey of a polar scientist, from the specialist clothes they wear, the vehicles they must use to travel around, and what life will be like in the brand new Discovery Building. Our experts will also join us in the studio at the end of the lesson, to answer your students’ questions live.
