Exploring the mysteries of mercury in the ocean | Ages 9-14

Wednesday 16 June from 9 to 10 a.m.

This live lesson is an opportunity for you to question Marie-Maëlle Desgranges about her research and work on the ocean. Submit your students' questions in advance to have a chance of getting answers, or take the opportunity to ask them live.

Marie-Maëlle is focusing her interest on the mysteries of mercury in the ocean.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AXA Arctic Live 2021 live courses will take place in a virtual environment where presenters will deliver their lectures from their current location rather than from scientific stations.

Preparation

Preparing for this session is a great opportunity to develop your students' questioning skills. Think about a variety of questions about life and work as a marine scientist and how pollution might affect animals in the ocean. Consider questions and open-ended questions that you simply couldn't find the answer to using a search engine.
