In this session, we will be creating an interactive model of an iceberg with arctic animals on top of it, to learn about hibernation and adaptations. We will also be learning about the weather and climate of Antarctica, with detailed descriptions of wind speeds, temperature highs and lows, and more. The recommended age group for this activity is 4 to 10 years old, however, all ages are welcome!
materials needed:
- 1 sheet of cardstock or construction paper
- Printer paper - Pencil (for drawing) - Scissors - Glue/tape Optional: Coloring materials how to
Step 1: Take a piece of construction paper, or cardstock and fold it in half.
Note: Printer paper will not work as well. Step 2: Cut a half circle on your folded paper. This should give you a paper circle when cut out. Step 3: On a seperate piece of paper, draw a couple of your favorite arctic animals- look at the previous slides for inspiration! Note: You can use our template (found on our website under blog posts) to print and cut out or as a reference for your own drawing(s)! Step 4: Cut out your animals. Step 5: Glue the animals to the top of the folded side of circle. Step 6: Make sure the your folded circle can stand, placing the folded side of the circle up. Step 7: Push down on one end of the circle, and watch it move,mimicking an iceberg! The lesson
In this session, we will be learning about arctic animals, the climate and weather of Antarctica, the adaptations of arctic animals, and the science behind hibernation. While making a iceberg to demonstrate the landscape of Antarctica, the kids will learn about the aforementioned topics, while learning how to think critically and creatively about scientific concepts. You can find our science lesson and craft explanations in the presentation below, along with our printable template for this craft!
