Polar Explorer Programme
Polar explorer
This selection of resources were created as part of the Polar Explorer programme in 2019, funded by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and managed by STEM Learning Ltd. The aim of the programme was to highlight the commissioning and building of the polar research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough and Boaty McBoatface, its automated submersible.
The resources provide activities and guidance to support schools to enrich the teaching of STEM subjects, by using the context of the construction and launch of the ship, and of polar science.
More details about the programme can be found on the British Antarctic Survey website.

Lesson 4: How do humans and animals keep warm in the Arctic?
In this lesson students investigate the insulating properties of materials and consider how the adaptations of Arctic organisms help develop these. The context of the lesson is helping to develop new clothing for Tyler Fish, one of the Catlin Arctic Survey explorers.
The entire package of the Frozen Oceans...
Investigating Streamlined Shapes
This activity will allow students a practical opportunity to apply the formula of speed to establish and consider why streamlined shapes are advantageous.
The activity gives students the opportunity to explain what...
Investigating Wind Turbines
Windmills and wind turbines are based upon the principle of trying to create a shape where air flow causes the maximum possible change in kinetic energy. Wind turbines are designed to convert the kinetic energy in wind into electrical energy to power millions of homes...
