Into the Arctic -- Information and Educational Activities for Studying Climate
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS069

Summary
'Into the Arctic' contains educational materials about climate and climate
history in the Arctic that use real data and questions from the Greenland Ice
Sheet Project Two (GISP2). It is in the form of a single zip file which can be
expanded and the files burned to a CD. Beginning in 1993, scientists from all
over the world participated in the GISP2 project to drill through 3,000 meters
of ice in Greenland, and discovered a history of the world's climate. Inspired
by the research results from GISP2, 'Into the Arctic' offers instructional
materials and activities for teachers to use in the many contexts of their
daily teaching routines. Its unique feature is that it provides data collected
and used by research scientists, and it provides students with the questions
scientists grapple with in their research. There are no right or wrong
answers. Students are presented with the data, and they are free to suggest
answers to the questions posed. Lessons and activities are designed for use by
secondary through lower-level college students studying Earth science,
geography, history, social studies or chemistry. Information and activities
are divided into four sections: Climate, Climate Change, El Nino, and the
Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2. The subjects selected range from the broad
(Climate and Climate Change) to the more specific (El Nino and the Greenland
Ice Sheet Project 2) to provide the reader with background in Earth science
that can then be applied using broadly related case studies.
