OBJECTIVES

目標

  • Facilitate students to gain a deeper understanding of the Antarctic condition and its significance through research and experimental design
    通過研究和實驗設計,幫助學生更深入地了解南極狀況及其意義

  • Encourage students to apply their scientific knowledge and think outside the box by questioning whether certain theories will result differently in a polar environment
    通過預計某些理論在極地環境中是否會產生不同的結果,鼓勵學生應用他們的科學知識並跳出框框思考
