Scientific paper

The Polar Regions play an integral role in how our Earth system operates. However, the Polar Regions are marginally studied in the K-12 classroom in the United States. The International Polar Year's (IPY) coordinated campaign of polar observations, research, and analysis that will be multidisciplinary in scope and international in participation offers a powerful opportunity for K-12 classroom. The IPY's scientific objective to better understand the key roles of the Polar Regions in global processes will allow students a window into the poles and this unique regions role in the Earth system. IPY will produce careful, useful scientific information that will advance our understanding of the Polar Regions and their connections to the rest of the globe. The IPY is an opportunity to inspire the next generation of very young Earth system scientists. This IPY's will education & outreach position paper asks a key question that must guide future educational projects; "Why is the polar regions and polar research important to all people on earth"? In efforts to coordinate educational activities and collaborate with international projects, United States national agencies, NOAA, NASA, USGS and NSF to mention a few, and other educational initiatives, it is the purpose of this session to explore potential partnerships, while primarily recommending a model for educational product development and review. In the context of the 125 year legacy of IPY, this talk will provide an opportunity to discuss the NOAA Arctic programs current arctic research and explorations, projects being planned for this IPY, its education related activities, new and innovative efforts to capture the inherent mystique of polar regions and describe the process of scientific research relating to IPY. In addition, numerous teacher professional development opportunities, newly developed curricula, and other public events will be introduced so scientists, teachers and their students can find ways to explore the changing arctic in-person or through tele-presences venues.
