Lesson Plan Description
Want to teach your students how polar animals stay warm? This activity will help your students learn how animals that swim in the ocean (such as penguins, seals, whales, sea lions, elephant seals, and walruses) stay warm. Read a book about one or more of these animals to start the conversation about how these animals stay warm in extreme cold conditions. (For Grades K-5)
