The Royal Geographical Society with IBG, British Antarctic Survey and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Polar Regions Unit have launched their new website Discovering Antarctica.
sourceThis is an outstanding teaching resource, featuring a great variety of superb multimedia resources, images and factsheets, interwoven into really enjoyable learning activities. I like the way in which the materials have been presented to reflect the current pedagogy stemming from initiatives such as the Key Stage Three strategy.
The Discovering Antarctica site caters for both KS3 and KS4 students, and the activities may be extended by following the carefully selected links. There are plenty of downloadable teaching materials, together with extensive teachers notes. If Antarctica is not part of your current scheme of work, it will be shortly!
Well done RGS, Simon Scoones, the project development team and the large number of contributors who have produced this resource!
