The International Polar Year (IPY) is one of the most ambitious international science programs ever organized, currently involving over 60,000 scientists from 63 countries. The goal is to broaden humankind’s understanding of the Arctic and Antarctic, examining a wide range of physical, biological, and social science topics in order to more fully comprehend the critical influence polar regions have on the rest of the planet. The following is a list describing opportunities—supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—for teachers to bring IPY into classrooms around the nation.
