Habitats and the Frozen Poles – Form 2

In Science the girls learnt about animals and their different habitats. They created their own amazing shoebox habitats using lots of different materials to make a mini version of their chosen habitat from around the world.

A Polar marine biologist come in for a whole day of Polar fun with Form 2. The girls carried out experiments to learn about how animals keep themselves warm and how climate change is causing glaciers to melt. They looked at the differences between the North and South pole and even got to try on a variety of polar survival gear! The girls investigated animals found in the Arctic and the Antarctic and presented their research in reports.

Caribou have large, concave hooves that spread wide to support the animal in snow.
