Penguins:
Will You Be My Valentine?
Grades K-2: Interactive livestream
Overview
Our penguins hold a very special place in the hearts of our staff and visitors!
In this YouTube Live event, students will get into the Valentine’s Day spirit! Get an insider's look at our penguin colony and how they care for their eggs and chicks, with the help and love of Academy biologists. We will take a live look at biologists passing out special valentines. At the end of the program get a sneak peek of our newest and cutest members of the colony!
Collaborate with us! Submit your penguin questions by 12pm PT on Friday, February 10, to let us know what your students want to learn about.
Extension activities for students
Teachers can find optional extension activities that are designed to be self-directed by the students or used as class group work and maybe built upon by the teacher if they desire.
How does it work?
This program lasts approximately 30 minutes, is taught by a team of professional educators, and is broadcast to multiple classes at the same time via YouTube Live.
Students will interact with the educators through kinesthetic activities and by submitting their penguin questions in advance.
