Today and Yesterday

This lesson was created as a part of the SMART
website and is hosted by the Illinois
Institute of
Technology
Today we see the Antarctica as a cold, bleak and desolate place on our
planet
earth. Was this ice covered surface always this way? If not, how
did it
get to be so undesirable? In my research I wanted to investigate
by
finding information to support a variety of learning
styles. The
objective of this lesson will involve the student to participate at
appropriate
levels of assessments to satisfy current learning goals. I am
hopeful that
they will interact in a meaningful way to inquire and extend some
aspect of
information presented.
Objective: To understand why Antarctica is just as
important
today as in the past may reveal as fact of fiction.
