Description

Overview:

The students will investigate camouflage and countershading as an example of penguin adaptation. Then students engage in an experiment to demonstrate the effectiveness of blubber as an insulator against the cold temperatures penguins typically experience. Students will learn about a variety of external penguin structures and explore the insulating value of an internal structure, blubber. This lesson was adapted from the NSTA at this link . This lesson results from a collaboration between the Alabama State Department of Education and ASTA.
