4 votes with an average rating of 0.8.
Most students are likely familiar with popular films like Happy Feet, Surf’s Up, Penguins of Madagascar, and classic books like Mr. Popper's Penguins. Capitalizing on this familiarity with penguins, this lesson aims to integrate English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Through interactive activities, students will tackle mathematical problems centered on penguins, ice, and energy, analyze maps and environmental data, explore the unique properties of water and conservation of matter, and engage in reading and writing about penguins and climate change. They will recognize how penguin habitats serve as guardians for our environment and are examples of teamwork for survival. Drawing inspiration from penguins' cooperative strategies, students will be encouraged to collaborate in addressing real-world challenges. There are numerous options in this lesson so you can tailor the activities to suit your grade level or specific standards.
