Did you know that of the 17 penguin species, only a few live or nest in
Antarctica? Or that many of our familiar bird species from the midlatitudes
migrate to breed in polar regions? While we're all familiar with
Emperor penguins, there are many other fascinating birds that call the
polar regions home at least part of the year. In this session, develop your
own content knowledge and learn how to use birds to promote inquiry,
teach physical science concepts, and integrate hands-on science
instruction with reading strategies and other literacy skills.
Join Jessica Fries-Gaither, Project Director and Elementary Resource
Specialist for the Ohio Resource Center at Ohio State University and staff
from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology as we share free digital resources,
lesson plans, and children's literature from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology
and the Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears cyberzine. This seminar is
designed for K-5 educators. Register today!
