Penguin Research

Over the past several years I have had students participate in a Penguin Research Project being done in Antarctica.  We watched the Adelie penguins nesting habits and enjoyed seeing the little ones as they hatched from their egg homes.  I have even had students send postcards to the researchers in  Antarctica and get them back with a postmark from that far-away place!  I am sharing the link to the website in case your child is interested in acting as a scientist and watching and documenting the progress of the breeding season of the penguins.  I am happy to help if your daughter needs assistance creating and sending a "postcard" to the researchers.  Whether they want to create a postcard or not, enjoy watching and learning about these amazing creatures who live in such a unique part of our world.
