"How Do Survival Techniques of Antarctic Explorers and Polar Animals Compare?" This is the question that students ofthe Accelerated Learning Labortory of Worcester, MA. focus their study on the survival techniques of polar animals and the ways humans mimic these naturally occurring phenomenon. Students will conduct cold environment adaptation experiments, as well as investigate thermal energy concepts, such as the transfer of heat energy, conduction, insulation, and convection.
