Scientists are Superheroes

The GRate science project studies the history of the Greenland Ice Sheet in order to better understand how the past can help predict the future. By bringing together geologists, paleontologists, glaciologists, modelers, oceanographers, biologists and education specialists, the GRate team can focus their super-skills on uncovering the secrets of Greenland’s past climate. Our science superhero team has been turned into ‘real superheroes’ by our talented artist Jeremy Stock with their own set of activities and curriculum materials for both middle school and high school. 

Each of our superheroes has special super science skills that they share with the students through activities and lessons. The theme for our resources is “How do we know about the past?” which we explore through a range of different proxies. Our superheroes have phenomena activities, curricular pieces, superhero postcards that introduce science careers, and posters.
