Of course, the best way to appreciate this is through the LFA 2 videos and on-line resources. Objectives Students will demonstrate their understanding of the roles and responsibilities of USAP participants in Antarctica. Students will problem-solve an emergency situation specific to the operation of Palmer Station. Share a Field Journal entry from researchers currently working at Palmer. Remind students that Palmer Station is a highly interdependent scientific research community.
Record responses on the chalkboard or overhead projector.
Scientific Investigators handle tasks from field research to technical assistance in the Biolab. Have students choose a job at Palmer. Research career information in the library, or on-line via the LFA 2 Web site, or in discussion with parents or other adults. Write a one-page report that describes the education necessary to work in that position. Share reports with the class, add to Logbooks, and consider posting them on-line to LFA 2.
