Mini Unit Study on Arctic Animal

My kids love animals, I love animals so focusing on homeschool lessons around animals is easy and welcoming, and something I know we’re all going to enjoy doing. This one is focusing on Antarctic and Arctic animal. I think we have such an interest in the colder climate animals after living through cold Saskatchewan winters ourselves.

This is designed more for younger learners, say grades k-2. But the beauty of homeschooling is that you can use a resource for your kids that are older than the recommended ages just by changing simple things. Like the books you read.

This mini unit study includes a slideshow presentation in PowerPoint and Google Slides too.

I have included two different reading lists from Amazon: one for early readers and one for more advanced readers, or older kids needing more information.

We did this fun Arctic Animals science experiment a few years ago for the first time and loved learning from it. There is a lot of build up with you are about to stick your hand into a bowl of icy water, even when you know you aren’t going to feel the cold.

There are a lot ways you can take this mini study in your homeschool as a way to start learning about animals.
