1Arctic/Antarctic- Polar Animals and habitats
Welcome!
Please get ready to learn about polar animals and how they adapt to their surroundings.
Your assignment is to take notes on (a circle map works well!):
1. species (which animal you are researching)
2. habitat (where this animal lives)
3. diet (what this animal eats/hunts)
4. anatomy (what does this animal look like)
5. predators (what hunts this animal)
6. life span (how long does this animal live)
7. three interesting facts (what else have you learned?)
