What is more fun than learning about penguins? How about adopting one for your classroom! A teacher traveling to Antarctica with Dr. David Ainley, an adelie penguin scientist, will send your class pictures and updates on your adopted penguin’s health and activities, as she aides in his research. Even after the research expedition ends, this website will provide images and activities for teaching about penguins and Antarctic science.
Activity: Students will be able to adopt a breeding pair of adelie penguins, and analyze the factors and variables that will make their pair successful parents. Pictures of each pair will be posted on the Internet for students to observe along with other data they can record and analyze. The interactive website will also provide general information about penguins, classroom activities written for grades 4-8, pictures, maps, and other educational and exciting links about living and working in Antarctica.
