Be a field biologist by following daily pictures and collecting your own data! Follow Adélie Penguins as they raise their chicks live from Antarctica! Starting around Nov 11 every season we follow 8 new penguin families during the breeding season at Cape Royds. Penguin Science is an NSF funded project engaging and educating classrooms and the public with Antarctic penguins as they raise their families and cope with global climate change. Adopt a penguin family, keep a field notebook recording foraging trips, egg hatching and chick rearing data. Combine science, art and geography as students track their postcards mailed back to them from Antarctica. Design and make a flag to fly at our research station. Something for everyone about Antarctic!
