Students around the world are gaining a deeper awareness of the environment and helping to make the world a safer place while they improve their science skills and deepen their knowledge about climates of the world, resulting in communities that are storm ready. Using the Iditarod as a theme, you will explore First Aid. This particular lesson focuses on frostbite – recognizing, caring for and preventing. You will first do guided research on the topic using the suggested websites and resource materials. Once familiar with strategies for care and prevention, you will address two Iditarod related application problems and create a 150 word report using one of several multimedia options.

Math: Iditarod Activities for the Classroom - Activities designed to integrate aspects of the Iditarod race into math instruction. Lessons include principles of comparative data analysis, estimation, measurement, unit conversion, statistics, cost calculation, fractions, decimals, bar graphs, spreadsheets, and more. Science: Iditarod Ready, Storm Ready - Students learn about health concerns associated with exposure to cold weather, including frostbite and hypothermia, and first aid methods used to treat these conditions. Literacy: Idita-Read Program - Inspire students to read by holding an Idita-Read event to connect the Iditarod to learning. Reading starts when the mushers start and can be for the duration of the race, or longer.
