 For
a weekend assignment, each student is asked to record
and sketch all the animals they see native to their
area. This should include birds and insects. On Monday,
the class should consolidate their list and send it
to me. If a scanner is available, scan some of the
drawings and email them to me. I will do a similar
activity except I will take digital pictures instead
of making drawings. To find any animals, I will probably
hike over to a penguin rookery. Hopefully, I will
be able to tour one of the biology labs and get to
see some animals that I wouldn't otherwise get exposure
to. |

Pre-experiment
questions (the consensus of the class should
be sent to me)
- What
animals do you think live on or around Antarctica?
- Do
you think there are any animals common to both
your area and Antarctica?
- Which
place do you think has more life? Why?
- How
would you expect the animals in your environment
to be different from ones in an Antarctic environment?
- What
do you think the differences are caused by?

Post-experiment
questions
A
lot of the animals from Antarctica look very differnt
from the ones in your environment. Describe those
differences.
- Why
do you think the animals are different?
- What
things are there in common between the animals
of your area and of the Antarctic?
- Why
do the animals have anything in common?
- How
do the differences between the animals help them
survive in their natural habitat?"
