The world's natural laboratories. What does that mean? How can two of the most isolated, forbidding places on Earth also be among its most valuable for scientific research? Why do people the world over find the North Pole, with its polar bears, and the South Pole, with its penguins, so endlessly fascinating?

Helping your students discover the many answers to these questions is the mission of this web site and the 15 activities it presents. You'll find that the activities include everything from comprehensive simulated research voyages to one-page, kitchen-counter experiments suitable for copying for use by parents. Bon voyage!
