This website provides the data for students to follow the spring migrations of many different animals, including the gray whale that migrates from California to Alaska. It also provides an exciting “Mystery Class” project where students track the changing photoperiod of sunlight and seasons from January to April and try to identify the location of the 10 mystery classes based on the amount of sunlight they receive each week. Teachers are required to register their classes to take part in the project, but the registration is free. Activity: Students receive sunrise and sunset times for their mystery classes each week and graph the information. On the spring equinox they discover the longitude of their mystery classes by comparing their information to Greenwich, Eng...

Several traverses across Antarctica are occurring this season, studying the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. They all have very informative and helpful web pages, as well as daily or weekly updates about their progress. Previous Expeditions: More information on previous International Antarctic Traverses can be found on the following pages: Summary of International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expeditions (ITASE) Previous scientific traverses across East Antarctica almost fifty years ago Current Expeditions: ...
