This Frozen Oceans booklet outlines the research carried out by the Catlin Arctic Surveys between 2009 and 2011 and can be used in teaching the carbon cycle, ocean acidification and its impact on the Arctic ecosystem for Science GCSE. Two data activities have been prepared. The first uses a widely referenced longitudinal study on the relation between dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean and ocean pH. The second uses data collected in the Arctic that looks at the potential impact of ocean acidification on the Arctic ecosystem. This resource also focuses on the work of real scientists, addressing much of the How Science Works content in GCSE Science specifications including learning from a field research programme, the use of data, the peer review process and how science and society are linked.

Join Digital Explorer’s Jamie Buchanan-Dunlop live from Timor Leste in the Coral Triangle for an engaging experience that will allow your students to discover the importance of this unique ecosystem from the comfort of their classroom. This education event is a fantastic opportunity for schools to follow scientists and explorers on their journey as they dive into the secrets of the Coral Triangle. You can follow Jamie’s journey with TES at www.tes.co.uk/CoralExplorer! These three primary science lessons sponsored by Catlin Group are designed to accompany the Coral Live! 2015 event. Each lesson features engaging, fun activities on the following topics: Reef Builders, Amazing Polyps and Food Chains.

A full enquiry-based scheme of work for 11-14 year-olds following the journey of the expedition teams to the Arctic Ocean. It is full of lesson plans and activities covering extreme environments, expedition life, marine food webs, environmental changes and other issues facing this remote region. Designed to be used in conjunction with the Classroom Media Player.

Two data case studies based on the Arctic with options to use ICT or offline versions. One case study on the link between carbon dioxide and ocean acidity and the other on sea ice thickness. Each case study consists of four lessons. Designed to be used in conjunction with the Classroom Media Player.

The Frozen Oceans education programme is based on the research expeditions of the Catlin Arctic Survey 2009-11. Braving temperatures of -40°C, marine biologists, oceanographers and explorers camped on the frozen sea ice and undertook transect surveys to collect data on the changes occurring in the region. Have your class become ocean detectives with these experiments suitable for ages 11-14 and 14-16 (KS3/4).

A 60-min lesson with practical activities suitable for 11-14 year olds, replicating the work of scientists on the Catlin Arctic Survey 2010-11. The scientists camped on the frozen sea ice for two months to examine what changes are occurring to phytoplankton and zooplankton in the oceans’ current state, as well as if they were to become more acidic. Includes three simple practical activities: what’s happening the impact it may have on specific marine organisms the impact on the larger food web.

Encounter Edu has worked with Google to develop training manuals for using Google Earth in the classroom and for mini-expeditions around the school grounds, which incorporates creating virtual fieldwork. The manuals bring together skills for space and mapping, using tech tools, project management and community/pupil agency to improve their own environment. You can also learn to navigate your way around Google Earth and tools it provides with the simple step-by-step skills sheets.
