Bring Antarctic science into your classroom through a LIVE Virtual Learning Experience.
Join Reef Guardian School teacher Joline Lalime aboard the Research Vessel Investigator on its Antarctic expedition. This voyage explores the ecology – the science of relationships in nature – of the Cook Glacier marine region through sediment coring, water sampling, deep-ocean camera footage, and seafloor animal collections. There will also be some discussion of life on board the ship and other research being done on the ship at the time.

- Tuesday 17 February 9:30 am - 10:40 am AEST - Primary Schools - Ecology of the Region
- Thursday 19 February 9:30 am - 10:40 am AEST - Secondary Schools - Habitats of the Region
