Scientific Experiments

Description

Small scientific research projects relating to the Antarctic Continent will be proposed following questions from the pupils. The schools will be required to carry out experiments and to exchange their observations. They could also propose to the explorers to carry out certain scientific experiments in situ in Antarctica. The results will be sent by e-mail. The scientific adviser of the project and various partners (CRNS, Geneva University- Switzerland, Louvain University-Belgium, …) could suggest experiments and collaborate with the schools.
