Polar Research in the South Ocean
Mar. 18, 2025
Chisholm Middle School 7th-grade science teacher Kiley Preheim recently returned from a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Southern Ocean as part of the national Polar STEAM cohort. Selected for this prestigious program from a nationwide pool, she joined a research expedition studying ancient ocean climates, an opportunity aligned with her classroom curriculum. In Newton, her students learn about chemical reactions, photosynthesis, and Earth’s resources, and now she can bring firsthand research experience from as far as Antarctica into her lessons. From analyzing stable isotopes as proxies for past climate patterns to filtering chlorophyll and collecting ocean samples, Ms. Preheim was actively involved and contributed to science that will be used for years to come. Ms. Preheim makes herself available for educational discussions and has photos and videos to provide a multimedia experience for those she speaks to. She is very well-spoken and loves to share her experience with this scientific expedition that she was a part of, her life experiences of living on a polar research vessel for 6 weeks and taking a dip in Antarctic waters. |
