The Arctic vs. the Antarctic: Polar Opposites?
Activity:
Students compare and contrast
the two regions, creating a Venn diagram.
- Have students locate the Antarctic on your
classroom map.
- If the North Pole is in the Arctic, what do
they expect to find in the Antarctic?
- Visit the site "North Pole/South Pole:
Are They Different?" and have students
create a Venn diagram comparing and
contrasting the two regions’ geography,
climate, flora and fauna, and so on.
- Hang the diagram on the bulletin board,
connecting it with colorful ribbon to the
North Pole and the South Pole on your
world map.
