Dear Teachers,
Have your students follow along as Adelie Penguins raise their chicks. The
2009-10 breeding season is well under way at Cape Royds, on Ross Island,
Antarctica. The eggs have been laid and we will expect to see chicks in
about 10 days. Our most popular activity, ³Nest Check² selects seven nests
every year, and each one has daily pictures posted on the website as the
adults brood, guard and finally fledge their chicks. Weather data, a field
journal are also updated every day. Check out the ³Did you Know² section,
the ³Penguin Adaptation² pages, ³Sounds from the Colony² and ³Field Notes²
where students are faced with the same penguin quandaries as the
researchers. Enjoy watching these penguins as they march into your
classroom.
