1 Arctic Live 2018 Primary I Ages 5-7 Ideas for educators of students ages 5-7 Where is the Arctic and what lives there?
2 Purpose This slideshow was produced to help educators of students ages 5-7 prepare for Arctic Live This slideshow has some basic information about the Arctic and lots of images to help you engage your students and provide background to support learning before joining in with the Arctic Live broadcasts. The learning outcomes in this slideshow have been adapted to focus on the appropriate curriculum links. Suggested Arctic Live broadcasts This year we are targeting the broadcasts to different age groups to help provide better experiences for students. We recommend the following broadcasts: Friday, 4 May Interview with Clara Nielson, Age 5-9 Friday, 4 May Open Q&A with Jamie Buchanan-Dunlop, Age 6-11 Friday, 4 May Live Investigation Arctic Food Web, Age 6-11 Monday, 7 May Live Investigation Keeping Warm in the Arctic, Age 7-14 Thursday, 10 May Live Investigation Arctic Ice and Sea Level Rise, Age 7-14 You can learn more about the different broadcasts and check the broadcast time online: 2
3 Outcomes Foundation - Locate the Arctic on a map. - Name five Arctic organisms. Developing - Compare things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive. - Compare organisms in familiar habitats with organisms in the Arctic Competent - Use the words carnivore, herbivore and omnivore correctly. Expert - Draw simple food chains. - Draw a food chain with the correct arrows. Advanced - Construct a food web. 3
4 Where is the Arctic? Find where you live on Google Earth. Can you describe where the Arctic is? Complete these sentences with north or south. The Arctic is of my home. I live of the Arctic. 4
5 The Arctic The Arctic includes US (Alaska) Arctic Circle the Arctic Ocean and land masses north of the Arctic Circle. The United States Canada Arctic Ocean Greenland Iceland Russia Finland of America, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland and Russia Norway Sweden all have some land in the Arctic Circle. 5
6 The Arctic It s cold in the Arctic! High of 5 o F (-15 o C) Low as -54 o F (-48 o C) In the winter time there is little to no daylight, but in the summer time there are days with 24 hours of daylight. The Arctic is an important part for our planet: -It helps to keep Earth s temperature stable -It is home to four million people and thousands of different species of native wildlife -It is considered an early warning system for changes in other parts of the world 6
7 Where is the Arctic and what lives there? Researching Arctic organisms Use a computer, tablet or mobile phone to learn more about some things that you might see in the Arctic. 7
8 Living or not? How do they get energy? Sun Algae 8
9 Living or not? How do they get energy? Clams Copepods 9
10 Living or not? How do they get energy? Walrus Arctic Cod 10
11 Living or not? How do they get energy? Belugas Ringed seals 11
12 Where is the Arctic and what lives there? Living or not? How do they get energy? Polar Bears Arctic Foxes 12
13 Food chains Show food or energy going into organisms. Energy from the sun goes into algae. Energy in the algae goes into the clams when they eat them. Energy in the clams goes into the walruses. 13
14 Food chains You can put them all together in long chains. 14
15 Food chains This is another example of a food chain. 15
16 Food webs You can put them all together in webs. 16
17 Learning check point Competent - Draw simple food chains. - Draw food chains with the correct arrows. 17
18 Learning check point - answers Competent - Draw simple food chains. - Draw food chains with the correct arrows. 18
19 Final learning check point Foundation - Locate the Arctic on a map. - Name five Arctic organisms. Developing - Compare things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive. - Compare organisms in the Arctic with those found in familiar habitats Competent Expert - Use the words carnivore, herbivore and omnivore correctly. - Draw simple food chains. - Draw a food chain with the correct arrows. Advanced - Construct a food web 19
20 Answers The sun is not living, but all of the other things highlighted are living organisms. The algae gets its energy by converting energy from the sun through a process called photosynthesis. The clams and copepods both get energy by consuming, or eating, algae. Walruses get their energy by eating clams. Arctic cod get their energy by eating copepods. Belugas and ringed seals get their energy by consuming Arctic cod. Polar bears and Arctic foxes get their energy by eating ringed seals. To the right, we have a whole food web of the organisms discussed. 20
21 Additional Guidance Opportunities for differentiation Depending on your students reading ability and experience, you may choose to research Arctic organisms (slide 7) as a whole class together or a more independently. You can also choose to focus on the names of the different living things, whether the different things highlighted are living or not, or where each organism gets its energy. Idea for extension If you would like to continue learning about Arctic wildlife and working on food chains and food webs, check out the Arctic Live Arctic food web investigation, during which students will aim to make food web mobiles. You can join the live stream on Friday, 4 May or you can watch the broadcast later in the Digital Explorer YouTube playlist. 20
