This page is an index to all the lesson plans and worksheets (also called “student journal pages”) that you will need for the Arctic Alive, project. We have three stages of activities: pre-field trip, field trip, and post-field trip. Background content for all the lessons can be found in the “teacher’s guide” section under “background”. Students have access through their page to both the background material and the worksheets (student journal pages) but they do not have access to the actual lesson plans. The lesson plans are designed to be printed out for easier viewing. We have provided both a PDF and MS Word version of each lesson. In some cases, the lessons also require additional PDF files and those have been provided as well. If you have trouble downloading or printing a lesson, please feel free to email janet@arcus.org.
