Each unit has four sections; an introductory section of information, some suggestions for questions and discussion, pen and paper activities and practical work. Several websites are suggested as resources for teachers. Each topic has two units, one aimed at Level 3 & 4 and the other for Level 5. The Achievement Aims for each unit are listed in the contents page at the beginning of this report. The Nature of Science is also considered as the units develop scientific thinking with the activities, research and experiments suggested. These units could be taught as stand-alone units or within a study of Antarctica over a longer period. These resources are Educational resources for teachers to deliver Antarctic–focused lessons. A further step is to share these lessons with other teachers and to run a workshop for teachers wanting to teach about Antarctica. This would be a collaboration with Antarctica NZ and involve promoting Learnz, the interactive field trip site. Antarctic Units Contents Gondwanaland and the Geological history of Antarctica Level 3 & 4, Level 5 Making sense of Planet Earth and Beyond Achievement Objective • Investigate the geological history of planet Earth and understand that our planet has a long past and has undergone many changes. • Appreciate that science is a way of explaining the world and that science knowledge changes over time.

    Antarctic Biosecurity Syndicate Project, GCAS 8 Katrina Gousmett Christina Hood Machiel Lamers Jessica O’Reilly 20 January 2006 Contents: Abstract Introduction Section 1 – Law and Policy relating to Antarctic Biosecurity Section 2 – Alien species threats to Antarctica Section 3 – Transport pathways Section 4 – Biosecurity management in practice Section 5 – Discussion Section 6 – Conclusions and Recommendations References Appendices 1 Abstract The protection of Antarctic ecosystems from alien and invasive species is one of the key aims of the Environmental Protocol (1991) to the Antarctic Treaty System. Despite the patchy nature of different domestic policy implementations and management strategies regarding this issue, recent research has shown that the threats of biological invasions in Antarctica are real. Introductions of nonnative and invasive species in the Subantarctic Islands provide a useful analogue for discussing the potential risks in the Antarctic Peninsula and continent. The increase in human activities and their subsequent logistics support provides increasing opportunities for alien species to hitch-hike to the Antarctic, and for the dispersal of indigenous species around the continent. Moreover, rapid environmental changes the Antarctic Peninsula in particular may provide nonnative species with the environment they are looking for and contributes to the complexity and uncertainties involved. Regardless of the overall lack of knowledge and ill-defined scope of this problem, precautionary measures need to be taken urgently. 2 Introduction Protecting the Antarctic environment from nonnative pests and diseases has long been of concern, with the first rules governing introduction of species negotiated as early as 1964. Despite clear agreement on the desirability of excluding nonnative pests and diseases, the introduction of procedures to implement these agreements has been patchy.

    J. Helminthol. Soc. Wash. 61(1), 1994, pp. 1-11 Historical Basis of Binomials Assigned to Helminths Collected on Scott's Last Antarctic Expedition WILLIAM C. CAMPBELL' AND ROBIN M. OvERSTREET2 1 The Charles A. Dana Research Institute for Scientists Emeriti, Drew University, Madison, New Jersey 07940 and 2 Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi 39564 ABSTRACT: Scientific investigations were a feature of Captain R. F. Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1910-1912. Among them was a study of parasitic worms in the coastal wildlife of Antarctica. It was the special project of Surgeon Edward L. Atkinson, whose scientific contributions, like his passion for high adventure, have largely been forgotten. The new parasitic species that he discovered were given names that were intended to honor the Expedition and many of its members. However, it was not then usual for new species descriptions to include an explanation of the proposed new binomials, and the significance of these particular names is not obvious to modern readers. This article examines the historical connection between the names of Atkinson's worms and the individuals and exploits commemorated by those names.
