Scientific paper
IPY: Engaging Antarctica is designed to increase public understanding of geoscience research in Antarctica through hands-on learning activities and a NOVA television documentary. This informal science education project focuses on the multi-national, NSF-funded Antarctic Drilling Project (ANDRILL). The ANDRILL project is the most recent effort in an ongoing program to recover stratigraphic records from Antarctica. ANDRILL's primary objectives are to investigate Antarctica's role in global environmental change over the past 65 million years and to better understand that continent's possible responses to global changes in the future. The IPY project offers an innovative outreach package of hands-on learning activities, museum-quality banners, and video podcasts. This flexible exhibit package is called the Antarctica's Climate Secrets Flexhibit. Approximately ten sessions of learning activities culminate with youth participants using models, photographs, and other learning props to host an IPY event for their community. The materials enable youth groups, camps, or classes to learn about and then share their knowledge of Antarctica and geoscience research. Youth groups and classes can apply for grant funds to cover the costs of activity supplies and printing. The NOVA documentary has a working title of Antarctica's Icy Secrets. Its planned release date is in 2009. The documentary will provide a geological perspective on Antarctica's role in global climate, focusing on the methods and findings of current geoscience researchers.
