All Things Polar

PRISM offers annotated links to resource materials for K-12 educators, students, and the general public. Most resources are keyed to national academic standards.

These resources were chosen from lessons and resource lists made by K-12 educators who used the "TrackStar" lesson-maker sponsored by the High Plains R*TEC. They have all been reviewed by the Teacher Team of HPR*TEC and are suitable for classroom use at the time of posting. Teachers are urged, however, to always review the materials shortly before use in class to ensure suitability, as some sites disappear and their domain names are bought by purveyors of non-educational content.
