Module 1 • Explore: The Arctic
Module Question
Hard at work getting ready to head out, the team reports that they urgently need your help with three
things: One is to investigate the connections between past and present exploration and “observing
our world.” Second, we need you to learn from Arctic peoples as the first explorers and understand
the value of their traditional knowledge—not least among them, useful skills for Arctic survival and
exploration, used by scientists and even our team on the trail today. And finally, based on your analysis
of the GoNorth! adventure, consider the value of discovery in every neighborhood and in all of our lives,
so that you can help provide an answer to the important question: Why explore?
Good luck, explorers! We look forward to reporting your findings right here on WPHO.
