New Project - Penguin Science: Climate Change Education
Adélie Penguins at a breeding colony on Ross Island, Antarctica,
Photo by Viola Toniolo 2002Oikonos is partnering with the Penguin Sciene Research and Education program to create an educational DVD that aims to inspire and involve young people in the world's climate crisis via the lives and studies of Adélie penguins.
Penguin Science is a dynamic classroom DVD with companion classroom activities based on the on-going research of leading scientists in Antarctica, David Ainley, Grant Ballard and Katie Dugger, who are discovering how penguins are coping with climate change -- retreating glaciers, fracturing ice shelves, giant icebergs, increased snow fall covering nesting grounds, and disappearing sea ice.
The team of multi-media producers, field scientists and science educators is partially funded by the National Science Foundation's Informal Science Education program and private donations. Additional funding is needed to complete, evaluate, and distribute Penguin Science.
