Arctic Animal adventuresTeacher: Faith Bruck
Join us on an animal adventure to the Arctic and Antarctic lands of our North and South Poles! Learn about the woolly musk ox and the giant polar bear. Is the killer whale really a killer? If the penguins are birds, can they fly? Answers to these questions and more await you on this trip to the freezing tips of our globe. We will explore the geography, climate and habitat of these animals and their surroundings, as well as classifying them according to their physical traits and characteristics. Your student will work on a semester long project that will capture all they have learned! Bundle up and get ready to learn!
