Study of the Polar Regions (Arctic and Antarctic Unit)

We studied Arctic and Antarctica a few days before we left, and identified the difference between these polar lands.

These are the books we used:

• Polar Lands
• Polar Lands (100 Things You Should Know About...)
• The Polar Region's Most Amazing Animals

I love that these books were visual, they showed maps, animals, and the actual pictures that were taken in both lands.

Here we looked at the maps and they also showed some of the animals that inhabit the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

I printed out some facts and information I came across from the internet and we sorted them out.

I've also created fact cards with pictures about the Arctic and Antarctic regions that can be used for sorting.  You can get this material from my shop (Arctic and Antarctic Mini Unit Activities).

Then we talked about the animals that live in the polar regions.

As seen here, we sorted animals living in Antarctica and the Arctic.  For this activity we used the Arctic Safari Toob and the Penguins Safari Toob.
