Immersion Learning - Marine Mammals of the Arctic
The vast and relatively unexplored Arctic is undergoing many changes, and researchers around the globe are working with native communities to gather information on how these changes might impact marine mammals and their ocean home. Immersion Learning’s Marine Mammals of the Arctic program focuses on key species such as beluga whales, ice seals, narwhals, and polar bears. Hands-on activities introduce students to the general biology and population dynamics of these animals. Additional reading selections, activities, videos, and interactive games detail current threats to the animals and highlight conservation efforts.
Through their Immersion adventure, students will:
- Meet real-life scientists and learn about their work
- Explore a wide variety of science topics including Arctic geography, climate change, adaptations, predator-prey relationships, marine mammal husbandry, research methods, conservation, and careers
- Learn how to do their part to protect Arctic marine mammals and their ocean home
As with all Immersion Learning programs, Marine Mammals of the Arctic is designed to be implemented in a wide variety of informal and formal education settings such as after-school programs, summer camps, and elementary and middle school science classrooms. It includes enough material for eight to twenty lessons with activity notes, extensions, multimedia connections, adaptations for younger students, and additional educator resources.
