Antarctica Skype #4

We're doing a "surprise" Skype with Antarctica. This Skype was a bit last minute and involved about 2 other groups in the Skype. Briarhill Middle School and Delay Middle School let us join in and learn together. They began by showing us a graph/diagram of something called the "IceCube Lab". They talked about charged particles traveling faster than light in ice! They also said they had just discovered something called "neutrinos". They used a lot of scientific terms which made it a bit confusing. They also said that the sun goes all the way around instead of going up and down! They're not allowed to leave the station for 9 months! Therefore, they have a movie theater, pool table, board games, green screens and musical instruments to keep themselves entertained.This Skype was very educational and entertaining.
