Printing the book yourself

The files below are set up to be printed back-to-back (duplex printing) on a color printer using 3-hole drilled paper and cardstock. Note that you'll need to turn Page Scaling OFF in your Print dialog box in order to have items such as the rock core images in Activity 3D print at the appropriate size.

The Paper.pdf file should be printed on standard or premium-weight paper; it contains 190 single-sided pages or 80 duplex pages. The Cardstock.pdf file should be printed on cardstock; it contains 56 single pages, so it requires 28 pieces of cardstock. The Cover.pdf file is just one page. Print it on paper or cardstock and insert it into the front of a clear-view binder. Use the page numbers to collate all pages and store them in a 3-ring binder.

Ordering hard copies of the book

For your convenience, hard copies of the activity book are available for the cost of printing through FedEx/Kinko's Docstore. To order copies, go to https://docstore.kinkos.com/unsm

On the Docstore site, click the "Select Documents from your Online Catalog" link then click the plus sign next to the Antarctica's Climate Secret's folder. Click the "Activity Book" link to reveal the available files.

  • The first item, labeled "Activity Book - Printed all B/W with color cover" is a low-cost option for a leader's manual. It includes black and white copies of all 244 pages of the book.
  • The second through fourth items complement one another to make a complete book. Ordering all three of these will support implementation of activity sessions and a Flexhibit event for up to 15 youth participants. The 190 paper pages of the book (many with color) plus 54 pages printed on cardstock (most with color) plus the cover are all necessary parts of a complete Flexhibit book.
  • The "Activity Book - Cardstock Only" file can be ordered to resupply consumable cardstock pages.

Materials for the Flexhibit

Each unit in the book has 2-4 hands-on activities. The complete set of activities requires materials that can be purchased from hardware, office, pet supply, and grocery stores for around $250. Detailed shopping lists and preparation instructions are provided in the activity book. Alternatively, groups can order a kit that contains all the ready-to-use materials for $400 plus shipping. To order, send an email to FlexhibitKits@verizon.net.
