Looking for ideas on integrating literacy and science in your elementary
level teaching? There's still time to register for tomorrow's free web
seminar (closes tomorrow at 4pm Eastern)

Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears: Physical Science From the Poles
Wednesday, October 29th
6:30pm -8:00pm Eastern

What’s the difference between an ice shelf and an ice sheet, or an
iceberg and sea ice? Why do glaciers and icebergs appear blue? How will
melting ice in the Polar Regions affect sea level? In this seminar,
we’ll explore ice’s many forms in the Arctic and Antarctica and how this
real-world context can be used to teach physical science concepts such
as states and changes of matter, density, and buoyancy.

Join Jessica Fries-Gaither, Project Director and Elementary Resource
Specialist for the Ohio Resource Center, and Dr. Carol Landis, Education
Coordinator at the Byrd Polar Research Center for this seminar designed
for K-5 educators. They will share content resources, lesson plans, and
children’s literature from the Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears cyberzine
designed to help you integrate hands-on science instruction with reading
strategies and other literacy skills.
