2S - Geography

Lesson: Geography

In our last two geography lessons of the topic, we explored the similarities and differences between the Arctic and the Antarctic.  We discovered that if all the ice was to melt, under the Arctic would be ocean, but under the Antarctic would be land which is why it is a continent.  We also found out that polar bears live in the Arctic and penguins live in the Antarctic and both are adapted in different ways to living in these harsh environments.

We then had to plan a route for a polar bear to get from the Arctic (North Pole) to the Antarctic (South Pole) - see photos.
