Do you want to learn more about Earth's remote polar regions?
And bring icy activities into the children's and family programs you offer?

/NASA Explore! Ice Worlds/ is just for you!

/Explore! Ice Worlds/ is a suite of hands-on inquiry activities designed 
to be used with children ages 8 to 13 in celebration of the 
International Polar Year. Developed by the Lunar and Planetary Institute 
and funded by NASA, the activities are designed  for the informal 
learning environment, including libraries, after-school programs, and 
museums -- and they work well in elementary to middle school classrooms, 
too! All activities are tied to National Science Education Standards, 
and all use inexpensive materials that are easy to find. Children will 
learn while having fun!  Check out the activities at:
