Using Polar-ICE Data Stories to Drive Small Group Student Research Projects
Abstract
For students living and learning in an urban environment, the ocean is an abstract concept. Students from The Young Women’s Leadership School of Brooklyn, an all-girls 6-12th grade public school in Bushwick, Brooklyn, comprises a population of whom 82% qualify for a free or reduced-price lunch. For various reasons, these students rarely spend time outside. When they do, it is in concrete playgrounds, not at the beach or even in a park. However, the Polar-ICE Data Stories make the ocean accessible and engaging.
