Penguins In The Classroom!

Hey Science Friends,
 Are you ready for the 2015-2106 Adélie Penguin breeding season in Antarctica?   Starting Nov 24, follow 10 new penguin families as they raise their chicks at Cape Royds, on Ross Island.  Adopt a penguin family, keep a field notebook, record parent foraging trips, egg hatching and chick rearing data. Follow daily pictures as these amazing birds raise their chicks. http://www.penguinscience.com/education/royds_nestcheck.php
Combine science, art and geography. Have your students track their penguin postcards as they are mailed down to us, and then back from Antarctica. http://www.penguinscience.com/education/postcards.php

 Design and make a flag to fly at our research station.

 Ready made instructional powerpoints (with teaching notes) about penguins, Antarctica and more!

Something for everyone about Antarctic!

Penguin Science is an NSF funded project engaging and educating classrooms and the public about Antarctica and the amazing Adélie penguins as they raise their chicks and cope with global climate change.
