Why is Antarctica such a good place to do science? This question is addressed with case studies of two experiments in the Antarctic conducted by British school teachers. A useful starting point for a lesson covering investigating scientific questions. One experiment looks at the effects of cold on the human body, and how our bodies change and adapt to cold. The other experiment follows the team of teachers as they aim to find the first lichens in the Ellsworth Mountain region of Antarctica. During the entire process we gain an insight into how to conduct a proper, rigorous, scientific experiment from start to finish. We see how important it is to record data accurately, and how hard it can be to conduct proper science in an environment such as Antarctica.
