Welcome to the Penguin Science Education Page!

Here you will find fun and educational activities to help students learn about many interesting aspects of penguin life, history and their relationship to climate change.

Students can also ask questions to the scientific researchers who study penguins, check the nests of penguins as they look today, and (if the season is right) even receive a postcard from Antarctica!

Penguin existence in the far south region of our planet is a fascinating subject. The average day in the life of a penguin is filled with adventure and drama, as they struggle to live and thrive in a challenging environment and changing climate.
