Polar bears are uniquely adapted to live in the Artic. They have many traits that help them not only survive, but thrive, in some of the coldest places on the planet. I recently discovered one website that includes two virtual field trips to explore life with polar bears.
For students in grade K-5, there is Curious Creatures: Polar
Bears on the Tundra Virtual Field Trip. Students experience the polar bear
packed tundra with Polar Bears International and Discovery Education. Travel to
the heart of polar bear action just outside of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada to
see these curious creatures in action and discover the science of polar bears
in this virtual field trip.
For students in grades 6-12, there is The Phenomena of
Polar Bears Migration Virtual Field Trip. From the migration patterns of
polar bears to the magic of the northern lights, the Artic is filled with
fascinating phenomena. Students take a trip to Canada for the annual polar bear
migration to learn all about the science of polar bears and their Artic habitat
in this virtual field trip. Students can also join Polar Bears International
and the Discovery Education team to connect with scientist, learn about the
connections between climate change and habitats, and see polar bears in their
natural Artic ecosystem on the shores of the Hudson Bay.
The website also includes a Tundra Connections Q&A
Session video so all students, K-12, can learn more about polar bears. This
virtual field trip is a great way to explore life with polar bears!
Happy Homeschooling!
