5 How do birds stay warm? Do they shiver or put coats on, like humans? Type your responses in the chat
6 YES (sort of) Birds feathers provide lots of insulation! Do they wear a coat? Puff up Hat, scarf and gloves? Tuck their bills Stand on one leg A few birds have feathers on their feet Do they shiver? Yes!
7 NSES standards Organisms in environments (physical and behavioral adaptations) Diversity and characteristics of organisms (form and function) Life cycles of organisms (migration) Characteristics and changes in populations (conservation)
8 Learn Through Inquiry! We encourage kids to ask and answer their own questions!

24 Integrating Science and Literacy: Resources from Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears
25 Sanderlings are migratory birds. Each spring, they leave beaches in Florida, the Caribbean, and South America and travel to the Arctic to nest and raise their young. Some travel almost halfway around the Earth.
26 Feature Story: Available for grades K-1, 2-3, and 4-5 as: - Text-only - Illustrated book - Electronic book
27 Question-Answer Relationship Four categories of questions Right There Think and Search Author and Me On My Own QAR template created for use with Feature Story
28 Compare and contrast sanderling habitats Beaches Arctic tundra
29 Migration Map migration routes and develop geographic awareness Create a model Arctic Tern and simulate behaviors and migration Read children s literature
30 Let s pause for questions from the audience.
31 Bird study: Penguins Titles from our virtual bookshelf: Penguins units: SeaWorld Education Department Interdisciplinary units science, math, geography, and language arts. What s Happening to the Emperor Penguins? Students consider the impact of the changing Antarctic environment on Emperor Penguin populations.
32 Runs from mid-october through January. Students follow Adelie penguin families as they raise their chicks at Cape Royds by logging in daily. Students can create a fieldbook with weather conditions and nest status. More Adelie activities at
