极地动物

Description

Explore animals of the Arctic and Antarctic — polar bears, Arctic foxes, and walruses in the north; penguins, seals, and albatrosses in the south — and understand how polar animals survive extreme cold through thick fur or blubber, huddling behaviour, and seasonal changes like white winter coats

Mastery Evidence

✓ Names at least 3 animals each from the Arctic and Antarctic
✓ Explains at least two adaptations for surviving cold (blubber, thick fur, huddling, white camouflage)
✓ Knows polar bears live only in the Arctic and penguins only in the Antarctic/Southern Hemisphere

Assessment Prompt

If your child sees a nature programme about the Arctic, can they explain how polar bears stay warm in freezing temperatures and name at least two differences between Arctic animals (north) and Antarctic animals (south)?
