Title: Antarctica: A resource for teachers and students.
Description: Antarctica : A resource for teachers and students. This is an excellent New Zealand built site that comes with lesson plans, background information and excellent photos. This could easily become the basis for a whole science unit at almost all levels, either primary or secondary as the information is quite generic. There is also a glossary and a reference E Mail address where you can send all the students questions! A Top ten site.
