Antarctica


We gathered questions on the topic for our wonder wall. This was an interesting beginning to help with our research. We soon found other areas of interest including where Antarctica was as part of Gondwanaland and how it once would have been covered with plants and animal life. That is why people might want to extract fossil fuels from Antarctica in the future. We discussed the outcomes both positive and negative from using Antarctic resources. We also studied about explorers Roald Amundsen and Captain Scott.

Big Question- How has technology changed from the past to the present for explorers of Antarctica?
