Live From Antarctica 2 Header

Now you can go to Antarctica and not even take your winter coat.

"Live From Antarctica 2," an electronic field trip from NASA's award-winning Passport to Knowledge series, is online -- and students everywhere can experience the wonder of this unique continent from the warmth of their own classrooms.

"Live From Antarctica 2" is located online at
http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica2/.

From Palmer Station on the Antarctic Peninsula, students and teachers can experience through cyberspace the most interesting place on Earth to study marine mammals.

"Live From Antarctica 2" was held early last year, but the Web site remains a record of the program's many features, as well as an excellent educational tool.

This integrated set of learning resources allows students to experience daily life on a scientific frontier as they interact with some of the planet's foremost experts on the creatures and locations they'll see. Students may simulate key aspects of these same scientists' research in the many engaging and informative activities found on "Live From Antarctica 2."

Passport to Knowledge's unique set of multimedia classroom tools makes learning easy and fun. Through the Internet, teachers have access to live, interactive video and tape, teacher resource materials on a variety of subjects, printed teacher's guide and kits for use at school or home, suggestions on how to customize a field trip for all grades, and much more.

To see all the frozen wonders "Live From Antarctica 2" offers, visit http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica2/ today.

Educational tapes from the program can be ordered from Passport to Knowledge's Web site, located at http://www.passporttoknowledge.com .

Passport to Knowledge's "Live From Antarctica 2" is supported in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Office of Polar Programs, with satellite communications made possible by NASA's ACT Satellite Experiments Program. The online and live video portions are partially underwritten by NSF and NASA and are free to educators. It is part of NASA's Learning Technologies Project.
