Discussion points
- Antarctica is known as a 'polar desert'. How does it differ to the Arctic?
- Why are ice sheets important?
- How could global warming impact polar habitats? How could this also impact the rest of the world?
Teaching tips:
Use this activity to practise identifying both the physical features of this extreme environment and the animals that inhabit it. Guidance is available within the activity to clarify key terms and improve overall understanding. Discuss the biological adaptations that animals have made in order to survive and reproduce within this habitat.
Apply this knowledge by making an Antarctic fact file, or compare with other Global habitats and explore their location within different World climate zones.
This topic area also presents an opportunity to research the impact of global warming on polar habitats. Children could complete Global warming and its effects to present their findings.
