Dr.
Eric Christian is a NASA Scientist
stationed in Antarctica conducting
research. Among his
research, he is conducting an
experiment with the Earth Science
teachers and students at
Schenectady High School.
Dr.
Christian will be observing and
measuring shadows in Antarctica,
where the sun never sets this time
of year. The students will
be observing and measuring shadows
here in Schenectady.
Set
in the grounds of Antarctica is a
post with a flag that displays '
Schenectady High School' and the
Patriot logo. From this
point, Dr. Christian measures the
shadow, and provides the data to
our students. The students
compare this data to the data that
they obtain in Schenectady.
The
students also interact regularly
with Dr. Christian. He
answers their questions and
discusses the comparisons in his
observations in Antarctica and the
data collected in Schenectady.
