Solving the Polar Puzzle

We have created these resources to help introduce children and young people to land and sea ice Earth observation and modelling.

Scroll down to discover:

• A puzzle pack, with lots of fun activities kids can get involved with to help teach them more about polar science.
• A series of videos from CPOM explaining what we do, aimed at children and young people, including some of our scientists explaining satellites, ice modelling and what happens when the Earth’s ice melts.
• A video from ESA Education ‘Paxi on ice’ and a link to their Youtube channel.
• An episode of Fun Kids Science Weekly, featuring Professor Andrew Shepherd talking about the A23a iceberg.
