|Adapting to Antarctica|
In this research activity, students examine images of Antarctic organisms to learn how they have adapted to the continent's harsh conditions. All directions are included in a printable four-page handout. Students begin by visiting several websites, narrowing their focus to three organisms. They then complete an in-depth study of the organisms, completing a data sheet with details about everything from the scientific name of the organism to its habitat and adaptations. Students end this research activity by sharing their results with one another and identifying additional questions to investigate.
