INTERACT: IS LIFE BELOW WATER THREATENED BY INVASIVE FISH?

What happens in a river when a new fish species arrives that does not belong there? In this lesson, you will learn how an invasive fish species in the Arctic can impact their environments, other species, and the economy. You will also get an introduction to animal invasions in general, and learn why with climate change, we expect the number of invasive species to grow.

INTERACT: Ocean currents and climate

Learn all about the most spectacular dance of water on our planet. Did you know, it all starts in the Arctic? No matter where you live: they affect your life every day! Learn *how currents are formed, *how do they work, where are they, *what is their role, *how they influence our lives and what is their relation with climate.

INTERACT: Stories of sea ice

How is sea ice different from an iceberg? How does sea ice extent change over the seasons and over the years? What is the Arctic amplification? How does this affect the Earth's climate? We will answer these and similar questions during the lesson.

INTERACT: Plants adaptations to the Arctic climate

Be invited for classes about Arctic plants adaptations! On the one hand, the term "flora" in polar regions might sound a little bit confusing. Let's see how the Arctic plants cope with Arctic conditions!

INTERACT: HELP FROM NEW BIOTECHNOLOGY

Genetics is the study of the genes and traits that children inherit from their parents. Recent biotechnology has opened new ways to study this in great detail even for wild animals and fish. In this webinar, you will learn how genetics and genomics can be used to study the impacts of human activities on wildlife populations, particularly in the very north.

INTERACT: WHAT ON EARTH IS MICROBIOTA?

About half of your body consists of microbiota, which are bacteria, protists, viruses, and fungi! They are crucial to life - even in the Arctic! In this webinar you will learn how the microorganisms affect immunity, hormones and even the behaviour of animals. We will use fish as our main study object. Because fish and many mammals like humans are not that different after all (we all came from a fishlike ancestor), you will learn about yourself too.

INTERACT: THE UNKNOWN WORLD BENEATH OUR FEET

Did you know that one quarter of all species are found in soil? Although soil organisms make up a large proportion of global biodiversity, we do not know much about these species and their ecological functions. Enrol in this webinar to learn about some soil species, particularly in the Arctic, and how scientists try to find more about them as well as what you can do to have healthy soils.

INTERACT: Przystosowania roślin do klimatu Arktyki

Lekcja dotyczy roślin występujących w regionach polarnych i ich przystosowań do klimatu Arktyki. Zawiera ćwiczenia związane z tundrą, gatunkami roślin, typami adaptacji. Uczniowie zdobędą podstawowe informacje dotyczące tundry; poznają przykłady przystosowań, które wykształciły rośliny, żeby przetrwać w Arktyce; zrozumieją rolę dwutlenku węgla w ekosystemie tundry oraz dowiedzą się, w jaki sposób warunki życia mogą wpłynąć na rozwój roślin.

INTERACT: Gleby w Arktyce

Czym jest gleba i jak powstaje? Dlaczego jest ważna? Czym odznaczają się gleby arktyczne i jakie procesy w nich zachodzą? Czy są "bogate" czy "ubogie"?
