Educational podcasts allow educators an easy way to keep current on research and materials to use in their teaching. The podcast series developed for Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears has teaching tips, interviews with scientists, and other ideas for bringing polar science into the classroom.

Check out this month’s podcast, The Lowdown on Climate Change. Researcher Dr. Andy Monaghan from the National Center for Atmospheric Research gives a brief overview on climate change and the recent effects of climate change in Antarctica.

Other episodes in this podcast series feature researchers and educational experts from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Exploratorium.
