The Polar-ICE Project: Using Authentic Polar Data to Teach Data Literacy Skills Across a Variety of Grades and Levels
At Princeton High School, located in Princeton, NJ, we have implemented the Sci I Polar-ICE project at three levels: Biology I In-Class Resource Program (ICRP), Biology I Accelerated, and the Science Research Program (see Hunter-Thomson article for more information on the Sci-I program). It was also...
