Something for everyone about Antarctic penguins

Dear Educators and Parents,

Take your students/kids on a virtual field trip to the Adélie Penguin breeding
colony at Cape Royds, Ross Island, Antarctica. Penguin Science is an NSF funded project engaging and educating classrooms and the public with Antarctic penguins as they raise their chicks and cope with global climate change.

· Students/kids adopt a penguin family, keep a field notebook recording foraging trips, egg hatching and chick rearing data. Follow daily pictures as they raise their chicks. Live pictures start Nov 10, 2011

· Combine science, art and geography as students track their postcards mailed to them from Antarctica.

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